What will I see on my ballot?
The projects shown above will be listed as Proposition A on your ballot. See the wording below as it will appear on the ballot.
Voters will be asked to vote FOR or AGAINST the issuance of about $1.1 billion in bonds for school facilities, the purchase of sites, buses and vehicles. The ballot will also state the imposition of a tax sufficient to pay the principal of, and interest on, the bonds. This refers to the district’s I&S rate, and Garland ISD can afford to pay for these bonds at the current rate.
THE ISSUANCE OF $1,103,130,000 OF BONDS BY THE GARLAND INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT FOR SCHOOL FACILITIES, THE PURCHASE OF NECESSARY SITES FOR SCHOOL FACILITIES, BUSES AND VEHICLES AND THE IMPOSITION OF A TAX SUFFICIENT TO PAY THE PRINCIPAL OF AND INTEREST ON THE BONDS AND THE COST OF ANY CREDIT AGREEMENTS. THIS IS A PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.
