Measure oneThe Bond
A school bond is money a district borrows for long-term capital needs — buildings, buses, and safety and technology infrastructure — repaid over time through the Interest & Sinking (I&S) portion of the school tax rate.
By law, bond dollars cannot be spent on salaries or day-to-day operating costs. They pay for things a district keeps for decades.
Package details coming soon
The Leon ISD board is finalizing the bond package. The specific projects and amount will be posted here as soon as they are official.
Measure twoThe VATRE
A VATRE is a Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election. It asks voters to approve a Maintenance & Operations (M&O) tax rate above the level the state approves automatically.
Unlike bond dollars, M&O dollars fund day-to-day operations — teacher and staff salaries, utilities, and classroom programs. A VATRE is how a district asks voters to invest in people rather than buildings.
Rate details coming soon
The proposed tax rate and what it would fund will be posted here once the district finalizes them.
