The question, as printed on the ballot

THIS IS A TAX INCREASE. Ratifying the ad valorem tax rate of $1.0446 per $100 valuation in Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District for the current year, a rate that will result in an increase of 0 percent in maintenance and operations tax revenue for the District for the current year as compared to the preceding year, which is an additional $0.

A “Yes” vote means

A yes vote ratifies the district's adopted $1.0446 tax rate ($0.7869 maintenance and operations plus $0.2577 debt service) for the current year.

A “No” vote means

A no vote rejects the adopted $1.0446 tax rate.

The district spans Gonzales, Guadalupe, Karnes and Wilson counties; owned here as its home county. The board's order finds that ratifying the rate "would increase school funding under current funding formulas."
