RRISD voters approve tax rate increase Residents of Round Rock ISD cast ballots in races for a proposition to fund raises for teachers and sta in the Nov. 7 election. In a nutshell Proposition A asked voters to approve a measure that increases the RRISD tax rate by $0.03. According to the district, the funding will allow RRISD to award a 3% increase to eligible district employees. Of votes in both Williamson and Travis counties, 73.24% of ballots submitted were in favor of the initiative. What they’re saying Superintendent Hafedh Azaiez said ahead of the election that 85% of RRISD’s expenses are salaries and if the tax rate had failed the district would have to cut positions.
“I think our residents are proud of where we’re going and what
we’ve done, but I also think they expect us to get this work done,” COUNTY JUDGE BILL GRAVELL
