VATRE - Local Control
How can a VATRE help maintain local control of funds?
- Revenue raised through the VATRE stays in Blanco ISD and will be used for our students and teachers. These funds are not subject to recapture by the state.
- The proposed VATRE would increase the M&O tax rate by 2 cents. This change is projected to generate nearly half a million dollars each year in additional revenue for Blanco ISD. Approximately 30% of the new revenue would come from the state.
- The district earned a Superior “A” FIRST financial accountability rating in 2025, reflecting strong financial management.
