LGISD to Get Million More in Tax Revenue

By ANDY BEHLEN  La Grange ISD board of trustees voted Monday, July 18, to propose a tax rate of $1.04 per $100 valuation, which is the same rate as last year. Due to increased property appraisals in the district, the school projects $1,031,916 in additional revenue over last year.

“This is good news, it gives us more flexibility,” said school business director Clay Goehring.

The board previously approved a $2,000 pay raise for all teachers. The board also voted Monday to approve a 10 percent pay raise for bus drivers and a two percent pay raise for all other district employees. The pay raises will cost the district $435,000 in the coming budget year.
