Tax Ratification Election: November 4th
WHY is the district asking for a Tax Ratification Election now?
PTISD is asking the voters to consider what can be called a tax "swap". The swap will increase the M&O rate by .13 and reduce the I&S rate by .13. If the election passes the tax rate will be set at $1.3485. If the election fails, the tax rate will be set at $1.3485, which is no change for the 2008-2009 school year.
An additional $540,000 in state revenue could be generated from this election, and would allow PTISD to continue to provide the programs we currently have for our students, and keep our teacher salaries competitive in the area.
