Efficiency Audit Report
In the 86th State Legislature, the legislation added Texas Education Code, Section 11.184, which requires the board of trustees of a school district to conduct an efficiency audit before seeking voter approval to adopt a tax rate for the maintenance and operations (M&O) of the district. Statute defines an efficiency audit as an investigation of the operations of a school district to examine fiscal management, efficiency, and utilization of resources.
The Legislative Budget Board has released guidelines that govern what must be included in a district鈥檚 efficiency audit.
鈥溾he purpose of the efficiency audit is to provide information to voters regarding a school district鈥檚 fiscal management, efficiency, and utilization of resources before an election to adopt an M&O tax rate.鈥
9色堂 ISD Prop A FAQs
What is Prop A?
Prop A is a board-approved special tax rate election asking voters to approve an increase to the maintenance and operations tax rate to increase funding for 9色堂 ISD.
Why is 9色堂 ISD asking voters to consider approving Prop A?
The 9色堂 ISD Board of Trustees voted to put Prop A on the November ballot to raise funding for 9色堂 ISD鈥檚 schools and students in the face of a $78M budget deficit for the 2024鈥25 school year. Over the last six years, funding for educational expenses 鈥 such as salaries, utilities, fuel, insurance and other expenses 鈥 has not kept up with inflation. Despite Texas鈥檚 $33B budget surplus, virtually no additional per-student funding was approved during the last 88th Legislative Session. 9色堂 ISD has also seen new state mandates without sufficient funding, such as legal requirements for school resource officers at every campus and accelerated instruction for students.
If 9色堂 voters were to approve Prop A, 9色堂 ISD would receive additional funding to provide competitive salaries for teachers and staff while reducing our deficit.
How much more money would benefit 9色堂 ISD if voters approve a tax rate election?
9色堂 ISD would benefit from about an additional $41M if voters were to approve Prop A.
How does 9色堂 ISD plan to use the additional $41M?
9色堂 ISD plans to spend about $17.8 million on a that includes market adjustments to increase pay for most teachers and staff.
$3.2 million would be spent on additional support directly to campuses. This includes Instructional Coaches, Content Interventionists, Special Education support and Mental Health support.
About $20 million would be used to offset current costs to replenish our savings and reduce our deficit.
How much money would Prop A generate?
Prop A would bring about $171 million in new revenue to 9色堂 ISD. 9色堂 ISD would keep about $41M and the remainder would be subject to recapture by the state.
How would Prop A affect the district鈥檚 tax rate?
The tax rate would increase by $0.091, which means an additional 9.1 cents per $100 of a property鈥檚 taxable value. The rate would go from $0.8595 to $0.9505.
How would Prop A affect the average homeowner鈥檚 school taxes?
If approved, a homeowner of an average value home in 9色堂 would see a monthly increase of about $34 in 9色堂 ISD property taxes, or roughly $412 per year.

How would Prop A affect taxpayers who are over 65 or disabled?
Property taxes for residents 65 years or older 鈥 or those who are disabled 鈥 are not affected by a rate increase if they have an Over 65 Homestead Exemption and make no significant improvements to their homes.
How is this different from a Bond Election?
Bond elections, such as the recently successful 2022 Bond in 9色堂 ISD, allow school districts to sell bonds to investors to raise money for capital purchases, such as modernizing buildings and replacing facility infrastructure, HVAC systems, vehicles, and technology. Bond funds cannot be used on operating costs, such as salaries, programs, or even utility payments and insurance.
A bond affects the Interest & Sinking (I&S) portion of the tax rate. Currently, 9色堂 ISD has a $0.123 I&S rate, the lowest in central Texas. You can learn about the 9色堂 ISD Bond, and the investments being made in our local schools at
Prop A would raise money that can be used for maintenance and operations (M&O) and is the only way for the district to have discretion on the funding used for our students and schools.
Is the end of federal COVID-19 relief funding through the Elementary and Secondary School Emergency Relief (ESSER) impacting the deficit?
No. 9色堂 ISD planned for the use and anticipated end of ESSER funds. We used ESSER funds for supplemental summer programs, one-time staff retention incentives, post-COVID crisis care, community outreach and technology upgrades. Only a select few temporary staff positions were funded by ESSER to support short-term projects.
What other districts have passed a tax rate election?
Locally, Round Rock ISD, Leander ISD, Pflugerville ISD, Lockhart ISD, Lake Travis ISD, and Eanes ISD have passed tax rate elections in the past six years to help provide additional funds to the district.
Why are so many districts across Texas facing deficit budgets?
Rising prices, the need to compensate staff and lower attendance rates post-pandemic, all play a role in school funding. Since 2019, there has been no increase to the basic allotment 鈥 currently $6,160 per student 鈥 which is the amount the state allots for each student in a district. According to data released by the state鈥檚 Legislative Budget Board (LBB), in 2022, per-student spending in Texas has decreased by $590 in inflation-adjusted dollars over 10 years. The LBB reported that the state share of public education has decreased over the years, while the percentage of local spending has increased.
There has also been an increase in recapture paid to the state by school districts considered to be property wealthy, and 9色堂 ISD is the largest payer. The state uses these recapture dollars to help balance the rest of the state budget.
The indicates that these per-pupil dollars include funding that is not provided to school districts nor affects the classroom, including funds to pay down local property taxes and investments in the Teacher Retirement System insurance program, which 9色堂 ISD is not a member.
How does the state use the recapture payments?
When a school district collects more revenue from property taxes, under the state finance formula those excess dollars are recaptured. Recapture dollars are intended to help fund less wealthy districts, but currently the funding brought in through recapture helps supplant the required funding from the State for education.
According to the , when the state collects more local property tax dollars for state use through recapture, dollars that would otherwise be spent on education are reduced, allowing the state to spend more General Revenue dollars on other priorities instead. In other words, when districts with high property wealth per student pay more in recapture, districts with less property wealth do not benefit by receiving more funding. Recapture payments has grown from about $120 million in 1992 to over $5 billion today. Learn more about recapture at: /budget/recapture
What does this mean for 9色堂 ISD鈥檚 Recapture payments?
If Prop A were to pass, 9色堂 ISD would be estimated to pay about $821 million in recapture to the State. This is about 51% of the District鈥檚 total budget, compared to the current 49%.

What is included in the compensation plan?
The compensation plan includes $17.3 million for market adjustments to teacher and staff pay. The plan would also provide about $500,000 to ensure all classified staff receive a minimum increase of at least $0.25/hour.
When would staff receive a pay increase?
If Prop A were to pass, staff would see an increase in December.
Would the increased compensation be paid retroactively?
Yes. If Prop A is approved, the pay would be retroactive to the staff member鈥檚 first day of work in the 2024鈥25 school year. This retroactive pay would be included in December.
Will the retroactive pay be considered for TRS?
Yes, the retro pay will be included for TRS purposes.
Will all staff receive an increase?
The compensation plan would increase all salaries that are currently below market rate according to a salary study conducted by the Texas Association of School Boards. Additionally, all classified staff would receive a minimum pay increase of $0.25. Over 6500 staff members 鈥 roughly 60% of all employees 鈥 would receive some increase in pay.
Why is 9色堂 ISD prioritizing market adjustments?
Offering competitive salaries is a large contributor to our ability to attract and retain highly-qualified teachers and staff. For example, currently, the entry-level salary for a first year teacher is relatively competitive in comparison to our neighboring districts; however, as teachers gain experience, our compensation becomes less competitive, which makes it difficult for us to retain our most experienced teachers. Market adjustments would address this issue by providing the greatest salary increases to our most experienced teachers.
What will happen to compensation if voters do not approve a Prop A?
If voters do not approve Prop A, the compensation agreement states that all active, regular employees in a full-time position would receive a one-time incentive payment of $500.
- Active, regular employees who are less than full-time but benefits-eligible will receive a one-time incentive payment of $250.
- The payments would be made in December.
- Qualifying employees must be in active status as of December 1, 2024 to receive payment.
This reflects an investment of $5.5M.
What is included in the 9色堂 ISD tax rate?
The 9色堂 ISD tax rate is made up of two parts, Maintenance and Operations (M&O) and Interest and Sinking (I&S). The M&O provides funding for the daily operations of the district including payroll, supplies, materials, contracted services and other general expenses. The I&S is used to pay for voter-approved bond programs that fund new construction, technology and vehicles.
The M&O rate is made up of three parts. The first, Tier 1, is the basic amount of funding for each district. This is based primarily on student attendance and the specific needs of each district鈥檚 student population.
The second part is Tier 2 鈥済olden鈥 pennies. Currently 9色堂 ISD has 0.079 golden pennies, and Prop A would add the remaining 0.01 allowed under current law. This is considered enrichment funding and is not subject to recapture, so 9色堂 ISD keeps all the money generated from golden pennies.
The last part is Tier 2 鈥渃opper鈥 pennies. 9色堂 ISD is requesting the maximum amount of nine (9) additional copper pennies. This is also considered enrichment funding, but any amount generated over a certain amount is subject to recapture by the state.
The state uses a tool called 鈥渃ompression鈥 to lower Tier 1 rates of M&O. This provides tax relief to property owners when property values increase. In future years, our tax rate may continue to decrease due to compression.

How has 9色堂 ISD鈥檚 tax rate changed over the years?

驴C贸mo afectar铆a la Propuesta A, a los contribuyentes mayores de 65 a帽os o discapacitados?
Los impuestos sobre la propiedad de los residentes mayores de 65 a帽os, o los que est谩n discapacitados, no se ver谩n afectados por un aumento en las tasas del impuesto si tienen una Exenci贸n de vivienda (Homestead) para mayores de 65 a帽os de edad y no hacen mejoras significativas en sus casas.
驴En qu茅 se diferencia esto de una elecci贸n de bonos?
Las elecciones de bonos, como el recientemente exitoso Bono 2022 en el 9色堂 ISD, permiten a los distritos escolares vender bonos a inversionistas para recaudar dinero para compras de bienes de capital, como la modernizaci贸n de edificios y el reemplazo de la infraestructura de las instalaciones, los sistemas de calefacci贸n, ventilaci贸n y aire acondicionado, los veh铆culos y la tecnolog铆a. Los fondos de los bonos no pueden utilizarse para costos operativos, como salarios, programas o incluso pagos de servicios p煤blicos y seguros.
Un bono afecta la porci贸n de intereses y amortizaci贸n (I&S, por sus siglas en ingl茅s) de la tasa de impuestos. Actualmente, el 9色堂 ISD tiene una tasa de I&S de $0.123, la m谩s baja del centro de Texas. Usted puede informarse sobre el bono del 9色堂 ISD y las inversiones que se est谩n haciendo en nuestras escuelas locales en .
La Propuesta A recaudar铆a dinero que puede ser utilizado para el mantenimiento y las operaciones (M&O) y es la 煤nica manera para que el distrito tenga discreci贸n sobre el financiamiento utilizado para nuestros estudiantes y escuelas.
驴Est谩 repercutiendo en el d茅ficit el fin de la subvenci贸n federal COVID-19 de la Ayuda de Emergencia a Escuelas Primarias y Secundarias (ESSER, por sus siglas en ingl茅s)?
No. El 9色堂 ISD planific贸 el uso y el fin anticipado de los fondos ESSER. Usamos los fondos ESSER para programas suplementarios de verano, incentivos para retenci贸n de personal por una sola vez, atenci贸n de crisis post-COVID, promoci贸n comunitaria y mejoras tecnol贸gicas. S贸lo unos pocos puestos de personal temporal fueron financiados por ESSER para apoyar proyectos a corto plazo.
Qu茅 otros distritos han aprobado la elecci贸n de la tasa de impuestos?
A nivel local, los distritos Round Rock ISD, Leander ISD, Pflugerville ISD, Lockhart ISD, Lake Travis ISD y Eanes ISD han aprobado elecciones de tasas de impuestos en los 煤ltimos seis a帽os para ayudar a proporcionar fondos adicionales al distrito.
驴Por qu茅 tantos distritos escolares de Texas est谩n afrontando presupuestos con d茅ficits?
El aumento de los precios, la necesidad de compensar al personal y las bajas tasas de asistencia escolar despu茅s de la pandemia, todos juegan un papel en el financiamiento escolar en todo el estado. Desde 2019, no ha habido ning煤n aumento a la asignaci贸n b谩sica, actualmente $6,160 por estudiante, que es la cantidad de dinero que el estado asigna para cada estudiante en un distrito. Seg煤n los datos publicados por la Junta Legislativa de Presupuesto del estado (LBB, por sus siglas en ingl茅s), en 2022, el gasto por estudiante pagado por Texas ha disminuido en $590 en d贸lares ajustados a la inflaci贸n en 10 a帽os. El LBB inform贸 que la parte que aporta el estado a la educaci贸n p煤blica ha disminuido a lo largo de los a帽os, mientras que el porcentaje de gasto local ha aumentado.
Tambi茅n ha habido un aumento en la recuperaci贸n pagada al estado por los distritos escolares considerados ricos en propiedad, y el 9色堂 ISD es el mayor contribuyente. El estado utiliza estos d贸lares de recuperaci贸n para ayudar a balancear el resto del presupuesto estatal.
La (asociaci贸n de mesas directivas escolares de Texas) se帽ala que estos d贸lares por estudiante incluyen fondos que no se proporcionan a los distritos escolares ni afectan a los salones, incluyendo fondos para pagar impuestos locales a la propiedad e inversiones en el programa de seguros del Sistema de Jubilaci贸n de Maestros (TRS, por sus siglas en ingl茅s), del cual el 9色堂 ISD no es miembro.
驴C贸mo utiliza el estado los pagos de recuperaci贸n?
Cuando un distrito escolar recauda m谩s ingresos en concepto de impuestos sobre la propiedad de los que le corresponden seg煤n la f贸rmula de financiamiento, esos d贸lares excedentes se recuperan. Los d贸lares de recuperaci贸n est谩n destinados a ayudar a financiar los distritos menos ricos, pero actualmente el financiamiento obtenido a trav茅s de la recuperaci贸n ayuda a reemplazar el financiamiento requerido por el estado para la educaci贸n.
Seg煤n la , cuando el estado recauda m谩s dinero de los impuestos locales sobre la propiedad para uso estatal a trav茅s de la recuperaci贸n, el dinero que de otro modo se gastar铆a en educaci贸n se reduce, lo que permite al estado gastar m谩s dinero de los Ingresos Generales en otras prioridades. En otras palabras, cuando los distritos con una elevada riqueza en propiedad por estudiante pagan m谩s en concepto de recuperaci贸n, los distritos con menor riqueza en propiedad no se benefician al recibir m谩s fondos. Los pagos de recuperaci贸n han pasado de unos $120 millones en 1992 a m谩s de $5,000 millones en la actualidad. M谩s informaci贸n sobre la recuperaci贸n en: /budget/recapture
驴Qu茅 significa esto para los pagos de recuperaci贸n del 9色堂 ISD?
Si se aprobara la Propuesta A, se estima que el 9色堂 ISD pagar铆a alrededor de $821 millones de recuperaci贸n al estado. Esto representa alrededor del 51% del presupuesto total del Distrito, comparado con el 49% actual.
M谩s informaci贸n sobre la recuperaci贸n y el 9色堂 ISD en /budget/recapture
驴Qu茅 incluye el plan de compensaci贸n?
El plan de compensaci贸n incluye $17.3 millones para ajustes salariales de mercado para los maestros y el personal. El plan tambi茅n proporcionar铆a unos $500,000 para garantizar que todo el personal clasificado reciba un aumento m铆nimo de al menos $0.25/hora.
驴Cu谩ndo recibir铆a el personal un aumento salarial?
Si se aprobaran la Propuesta A, el personal ver铆a un aumento en diciembre.
驴Se pagar铆a el aumento de la compensaci贸n con car谩cter retroactivo?
S铆. Si se aprueba la Propuesta A, el pago ser铆a retroactivo al primer d铆a de trabajo del empleado en el ciclo escolar 2024-25. Este pago retroactivo se incluir铆a en diciembre.
驴Se considerar谩 el pago retroactivo para el TRS?
S铆, el pago retroactivo se incluir谩 para efectos del TRS.
驴Recibir谩 todo el personal un aumento?
El plan de compensaci贸n aumentar铆a todos los salarios que actualmente est谩n por debajo de la tasa salarial del mercado seg煤n un estudio salarial llevado a cabo por la Asociaci贸n de Mesas Directivas Escolares de Texas. Adem谩s, todo el personal clasificado recibir铆a un aumento salarial m铆nimo de $0.25. M谩s de 6,500 miembros del personal, aproximadamente el 60% de todos los empleados, recibir铆an alg煤n aumento salarial.
驴Por qu茅 el 9色堂 ISD est谩 priorizando los ajustes salariales del mercado?
Ofrecer salarios competitivos contribuye en gran medida a nuestra capacidad para atraer y retener a los maestros y al personal altamente calificado. Por ejemplo, actualmente, el salario inicial de un maestro de primer a帽o de carrera es relativamente competitivo en comparaci贸n con nuestros distritos escolares vecinos; sin embargo, a medida que los maestros adquieren experiencia, nuestra remuneraci贸n se vuelve menos competitiva, lo que nos dificulta retener a nuestros maestros con m谩s experiencia. Los ajustes salariales del mercado resolver铆an este problema proporcionando los mayores incrementos salariales a nuestros maestros con m谩s experiencia.
驴Qu茅 ocurrir谩 con las compensaciones si los votantes no aprueban la Propuesta A?
Si los votantes no aprueban la Propuesta A, el acuerdo de compensaci贸n establece que todos los empleados activos y regulares en un puesto de tiempo completo recibir铆an un pago 煤nico de incentivo de $500.
- Los empleados activos y regulares que no trabajan de tiempo completo pero tienen derecho a beneficios recibir谩n un pago 煤nico de incentivo de $250.
- Los pagos se realizar铆an en diciembre.
- Los empleados que cumplan los requisitos deben estar en servicio activo el 1 de diciembre de 2024 para recibir el pago.
Esto refleja una inversi贸n de $5.5 millones.
驴Qu茅 se incluye en la tasa de impuestos del 9色堂 ISD?
La tasa de impuestos del 9色堂 ISD se compone de dos partes, Mantenimiento y Operaciones (M&O) e Intereses y Amortizaci贸n (I&S). El M&O proporciona fondos para las operaciones cotidianas del distrito, incluyendo n贸minas, suministros, materiales, servicios contratados y otros gastos generales. El I&S se utiliza para pagar los programas de bonos aprobados por los votantes que costean nuevas construcciones, tecnolog铆a y veh铆culos.
La tasa M&O se compone de tres partes. La primera, el nivel 1, es la cantidad b谩sica de financiamiento para cada distrito. Se basa principalmente en la asistencia escolar de los estudiantes y en las necesidades espec铆ficas de la poblaci贸n estudiantil de cada distrito.
La segunda parte son los centavos "de oro" de nivel 2. Actualmente el 9色堂 ISD tiene 0.079 centavos de oro, y la Propuesta A a帽adir铆a el restante 0.01 permitido por la ley actual. Esto se considera financiamiento de enriquecimiento y no est谩 sujeto a recuperaci贸n, por lo que el 9色堂 ISD mantiene todo el dinero generado por los centavos de oro.
La 煤ltima parte son centavos de "cobre" de Nivel 2. El 9色堂 ISD est谩 solicitando la cantidad m谩xima de nueve (9) centavos de cobre adicionales. Esto tambi茅n se considera financiamiento de enriquecimiento, pero cualquier cantidad generada por encima de cierto monto est谩 sujeta a recuperaci贸n por parte del estado.
El estado utiliza una herramienta llamada "compresi贸n" para reducir las tasas de M&O del Nivel 1. Esto proporciona un alivio fiscal a los propietarios cuando aumenta el valor de la propiedad. En los pr贸ximos a帽os, nuestra tasa de impuestos puede seguir disminuyendo debido a la compresi贸n.
