Voters in Round Rock ISD will decide on several ballot measures in the Nov. 3 election after trustees called both a board and tax rate election.
In a nutshell
Trustees set its tax rate for the 2026-27 financial year Aug. 13. The rate of $0.9848 per $100 valuation comprises a $0.7654 maintenance and operations rate, and a $0.1830 debt service rate.
The M&O rate funds the district’s general fund and supports day-to-day operations, while the debt service rate pays down district debt, such as bond payments.
The rate assumes the successful passage of a voter-approval tax rate election, which would allow the district to raise the tax rate $0.06 above its current rate.
RRISD Chief of Human Resources Eddie Curran said the VATRE would generate funds needed to provide a 2% general pay raise, increase starting teacher pay to $58,000 and address pay compression throughout the district.
What else?
Trustees also called an election for board seats with terms expiring in November.
Those seats are Places 3, 4, 5 and 6, currently occupied by trustees Amber Landrum, Alicia Markum, Amy Weir and Fabian Cuero. Cuero was appointed to serve the remainder of the term for Place 6 following the departure of former trustee Tiffanie Harrison.
