Early voting results show voters split on Round Rock ISD tax rate election

Unofficial early voting data shows Round Rock ISD voters are split on a ballot measure that would raise school property taxes to fund staff raises. 

The specifics

Early voting information from both Travis County and Williamson County was reported throughout the evening Nov. 3, representing ballots cast Oct. 19-30.

Data shows 48.8% of early votes were for the proposition, while 51.2% were against it. 

In a nutshell

Proposition A would raise the district's tax rate by six cents to generate funds needed to provide a 2% general pay raise for all employees, increase starting teacher pay to $58,000 and address pay compression throughout the district.

If passed, it would result in a annual tax bill roughly $219 higher for a home of average taxable value, according to the district.

The measure comes as officials say legislative efforts around school funding have limited what the district can do to increase pay for nonteaching staff.
