In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
This question asks voters in Alexandria Public Schools (Independent School District No. 206) to end the district's current referendum revenue authorization of $595 per pupil and replace it with a new one of $2,225 per pupil. Referendum revenue is extra general operating money that voters approve for the district. It comes from a local property tax and, in some districts, partly from state aid. The new amount would rise each year with inflation. It would first be levied in 2026 for taxes payable in 2027 and last ten years, unless revoked or reduced as provided by law. A YES vote ends the old authorization and approves the new one. A NO vote means the existing $595 authorization is not revoked and the new one is not approved.
Fiscal impact
Replaces $595 per pupil with $2,225 per pupil, rising with inflation, for ten years, first levied in 2026 for taxes payable in 2027.
