Guadalupe County residents to consider a host of ballot items on Nov. 5

Although there are no contested school board races, Seguin ISD voters will also head to the polls to consider the Seguin ISD’s Voter Approval Tax Ratification Election (VATRE). Voters will be asked to vote “For” or “Against” Proposition A on the November 5 ballot.

Seguin ISD Chief Financial Officer Liz Oaks and Trustee Josh Bright will be part of a discussion about why the tax ratification election is necessary.

The election is the district’s attempt at addressing a $4 million deficit. District officials say if voters approve, the tax ratification would lower the maintenance and operation tax rate by 1.38 cents to just over $1.10 per $100,000 of taxable property value. Even though it lowers the rate, they say the district would actually be able to capture more revenue from the state — maximizing that level and addressing many of their financial concerns.
