BRENHAM SCHOOL BOARD TO SET PROPOSED TAX RATE

  

The Brenham School Board will look to propose a property tax rate for the upcoming fiscal year at a special meeting on Tuesday.

Following discussion of the new certified values for the 2025 tax year, trustees will formally propose the rate for maintenance and operations (M&O) and for interest and sinking (I&S).  They will then schedule a date and time for a public meeting to hear comments on the proposed tax rate and budget.

After that, the board will receive a strategic planning committee update, including talks on a possible November bond election and reimbursement resolution.  

A bond for maintenance and capital projects has been discussed at previous meetings as a potential way to fund critical facility repairs.  At the board’s meeting on June 25^th, Superintendent Clay Gillentine said because of early debt repayment, Brenham ISD could propose a bond of $36 million or more without increasing the I&S tax rate.

The board will meet Tuesday at noon in the Brenham ISD Administration Office.  The meeting will be livestreamed on Brenham ISD’s YouTube channel.
