the district’s network infrastructure. The smallest Proposition, C, com- ing in at $47.43 million, would fund upgrades for district athletic facilities. The baseball eld at the Burger Ath- letic Complex in South Austin would be renovated for a projected $4.77 million. Cost to taxpayers If the package passes, the district will sell the bonds to investors on the bond market, and use the money to fund its projects. The district will then repay investors on a schedule using the debt service tax revenue collected

from taxpayers. AISD’s proposed overall tax rate for scal year 2022-23 would be the district’s lowest in 21 years, a $0.0651 decrease from the previous year. The district also projects a decrease in the overall rate for FY 2023-24. Even with the passage of the bond pack- age and an ensuing $0.01 increase to the debt service rate, the rate would remain lower. A lower tax rate does not necessar- ily mean a lower tax bill. The median market value of a home within AISD’s boundaries increased by 49.74% from 2021 to 2022, while the median

taxable property value over the same time period increased 11.51%. In an eort to educate AISD commu- nity members and Austin residents on the bond, AISD ocials have planned a series of informational events ahead of the election. “We can not miss this historic opportunity,” Mays said at an Aug. 9 board work session. In-person early voting runs Oct. 24-Nov. 4. Election Day is Nov. 8.
