TAX INFORMATION

**All projected tax rate numbers in the following charts and graphs are based on ALL THREE propositions passing in the May 2023 election.**

Public school taxes involve two figures, which divide the school district budget into two “buckets.” The first bucket is the Maintenance and Operations budget (M&O), which funds daily costs and recurring or consumable expenditures such as teacher and staff salaries, supplies, food, gas and utilities. Approximately 84 percent of the district’s M&O revenue goes to teacher and staff salaries. The second bucket is the Interest and Sinking budget (I&S), also known as Debt Service, and that is used to repay debt for longer-term capital improvements approved by voters through bond elections. Proceeds from a bond issue can be used for the construction and renovation of facilities, the acquisition of land and the purchase of capital items such as equipment, technology and transportation. I&S funds cannot by law be used to pay M&O expenses, which means that voter-approved bonds cannot be used to increase teacher salaries or pay rising costs for utilities and services.
The two graphs above show the tax rate breakdown for Andrews ISD starting with the 2009-10 school year. They also show a projected tax rate if all propositions were to pass in the May 2023 election.
The chart above shows enrollment numbers and the tax rate for 2021-22 in school districts across the State of Texas. Last year, Andrews ISD had 4,147 students and a tax rate of $1.11.
This information in the chart above is based on a projected tax rate if ALL propositions pass in the May 2023 election.

UNDERSTANDING RECAPTURE

RECAPTURE or "ROBIN HOOD"

Public school finances are a balancing act. As local revenue increases, the state decreases the funding it provides to the school district. When the state determines there is more local revenue than needed, it will ask the district to pay "recapture" or "Robin Hood."

Andrews ISD has paid $390 million in recapture payments since 1993. During the 2021-22 school year, Andrews ISD ranked 37th among the 158 school districts that paid recapture payments.

While the district's M&O funds are subject to recapture, I&S funds — those generated by bond elections — are not subject to recapture. This means that all of the I&S funds stay in Andrews ISD for Andrews ISD students.

VOTERS OVER 65

CITIZENS 65 & OVER ARE ELIGIBLE FOR AN “OVER 65” HOMESTEAD EXEMPTION.

Andrews ISD property taxes for citizens age 65 or older would not be affected by the bond election. According to state law, the dollar amount of school taxes imposed on the residence homestead of a person 65 years of age or older cannot be increased above the amount paid in the first year after the person turned 65, regardless of changes in tax rate or property value unless significant improvements are made to the home. If you are 65 or older, you may file a homestead application at any time, or contact your local appraisal district to see if you already have the appropriate exemption on file.

CALENDAR OF EVENTS

All citizens of Andrews are welcome to attend these meetings. If you would like to request an informational meeting for your group/organization, please contact the AISD Administration Building by calling (432) 523-3640.
