In January, Dripping Springs ISD officials announced a community information series, Taxpayer Tuesdays, with the goal of inviting community members to learn about student programs as well as district operations and finances.

For the 2023-24 school year, district leaders will host eight Taxpayer Tuesdays, held on the first Tuesday of every month with the exception of March.

Each Taxpayer Tuesday will focus on a different topic, and presentations made during these events will be recorded and made available online.

Topics will include, in order:

• The board of trustees governance
• School finance
• Recapture
• Career and technical education and special funding
• Facilities and bond update
• Demographics and growth
• Operations
• Budgeting

Each Taxpayer Tuesday will begin at 9:30 a.m. and last until 11 a.m. Attendees are encouraged to reserve a space in the meeting and arrive by 9:15 a.m. to receive a visitor’s badge.

The dates and locations for the 2023-24 Taxpayer Tuesdays are as follows:
