Austin ISD Board of Trustees approves VATRE for November ballot

AUSTIN, Texas — The Austin ISD Board of Trustees voted to approve putting a voter-approved tax rate election, or VATRE, on the November ballot.

The 8-1 vote was decided during Monday night's board meeting.

Voters will get to decide whether or not to raise property taxes to help with the district’s $119 million deficit.

If approved, it would raise property taxes for Austin homeowners by about $35 a month.
