VATRE Will Not Create School Debt
Unlike a school bond election, a VATRE, or Voter-Approval Tax Ratification Election, does NOT create new debt for Rockwall ISD.
If approved, the local funding will stay in Rockwall ISD and will be available every year to support priorities like staff salaries, special education, student programs and campus safety.
Please join us in welcoming Morgan Wills to our Student Service team as our new Registrar. #JFND - IT SWARMS

❓What is a VATRE❓
A Voter-Approval Tax Ratification Election, or VATRE, is a local finance election that allows the community to decide if the school district can access additional pennies on the Maintenance & Operations tax rate.
These funds would be used to help cover daily operations like teacher and staff salaries, school safety, special education and student programs.
Rockwall ISD is one of only four districts in the area that currently does not access VATRE funds.

🗳️ Rockwall ISD Calls Nov. 4 VATRE
The Rockwall ISD School Board has called a Voter-Approval Tax Ratification Election for Nov. 4.
Voters will be asked to consider allowing Rockwall ISD to access $16.5 million in additional funding to help support staff compensation, student programs, and underfunded special education and school safety.
Trustees voted to reduce the Interest & Sinking Tax Rate by 8 cents before calling the VATRE for 12 cents on the Maintenance & Operations Tax Rate, for a net increase of 4 cents.
The VATRE will cost about $160 a year or $13 per month for the average Rockwall ISD taxpayer.
