District set to host School Funding Election 101

Midlothian ISD parents and the community are encouraged to learn more about the upcoming School Funding Election or Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE) on the November 5 ballot. Superintendent Dr. David Belding will host a series of School Funding Election 101 sessions, providing an overview of the proposition that asks voters to consider accessing three Golden Pennies to generate additional local and state funding.  

Unlike a school bond election, a school funding election does not create additional debt for the school district. It unlocks funds both locally and from the state for the district's day-to-day operations. 

Join Dr. Belding to learn more about how MISD can access the additional revenue without increasing last year’s overall tax rate to address the district’s four funding priorities:

  • Safety and security

  • Maintain low class sizes

  • Student programming and experiences

  • Teacher and staff compensation
