For the fourth consecutive year, patrons of the Boerne Independent School District will work with a lower tax rate after the board of trustees on Monday voted to adopt the 2022-23 budget.
By a unanimous vote, the trustees approved the $99.52 million maintenance and operations budget that includes across-the-board pay raises, as well as money for other necessities and a projected $5.7 million in recapture funds. The child nutrition fund and debt service budgets also unanimously were approved.
“The board is pleased that the district will reduce its tax rate for the fourth year in a row,” board of trustees President Rich Sena told The Star after the meeting. “Since 2019, the rate has declined from $1.354 to $1.178 and is lower than all neighboring school districts and significantly less than other fast-growth districts in the region.”
