There will not be an increase in school taxes for senior citizens or disabled persons as a result of School Bond 2022. School property taxes for senior citizens & disabled persons are frozen & would not be affected as long as they have applied for and received the appropriate exemptions with their appraisal district.

It's official- our 12th comprehensive high school will be named after United States Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor. Trustees voted on the name at tonight's Board Meeting.
