Zero Tax Rate Increase
This ensures minimal financial impact on the community. Marble Falls ISD’s tax rate will remain stable at 0.89¢, supporting both new and ongoing projects. This approach leverages existing tax capacity to enhance district facilities and meet student needs without additional taxpayer burden.
The proposed bond can be funded without raising the current tax rate!
Homestead Exemptions
For residents 65 years and older, their school district tax bill will not increase, even if their property value rises (excluding property improvements), as long as they have an approved Homestead and Over-65 Exemption application on file with the Marble Falls Central Appraisal District. The property must also be owned as of January 1st of the tax year.
Modernizing School Facilities
Modernizing facilities to align with current educational standards, and expanding hands-on learning opportunities for students.
Upgrading Learning Environments
Includes renovations to classrooms, Career and Technical Education (CTE) spaces, and Fine Arts facilities to align with current educational standards and provide updated learning environments.
The bond recommendation resulted from a five-month process led by the Marble Falls ISD Community Advisory Committee. This group of approximately 60 parents, staff, and community members held six meetings to review the state of the district, including infrastructure, facility conditions, traffic challenges, and academic and extra-curricular programming.
Developed by a committee of parents, teachers, students, community members, and support staff.
