We have begun working on the staff housing which was approved in the November 2022 Bond Election.
By state law, the housing proposition provided housing access to teachers only. However, we have requested an informal opinion from our Attorney General to help us better understand their definition of a teacher. While our scope is focused on teacher housing, we are looking for ways to expand the housing option to other employees.
The survey is now available! We are attempting to get a good number of employees to weigh in so please take a few minutes to give us your opinions about what you would like to see in housing options.

What is DI?
DI is a premier educational experience designed to build skills and foster creativity outside of the classroom. DI sponsors a creative problem solving tournament for students in kindergarten through 12th grade each February. As students engage and tackle one of an array of open ended problems, they learn teamwork, budgeting, leadership, communication, and adaptability skills while working on a deadline.
Why attend the meeting?
If you have a child who loves being creative, building stuff, working with a team, acting, writing, or taking risks, then DI may be the place for them! Come learn more about the program and how Pflugerville ISD supports teams throughout the district. Participation is open to any student in K-12.
When? Thursday, Sept 14
Time? 6-7 PM
Where? PfISD Board Room : Administration Building, 1401 West Pecan

SAVE THE DATE! On Thursday, October 5th, Campus Educators have another 1/2 day of District Professional Learning & 1/2 Day of Planning & Prep. More information will be shared in the coming weeks.
The focus of the October RtI Mini-Conference will be on supporting ALL students through differentiation. Some departments will conduct separate, departmentalized training in lieu of the RtI Mini Conference and will communicate PD information directly with their teams.
For 2023-2024, all staff will complete Compliance Courses directly on the Vector: SafeSchools website, instead of the PfISD Professional Learning Platform. This allows staff to demonstrate their knowledge with a one-time opportunity to test-out out of SafeSchools courses without watching the full video.
Visit the Professional Learning website for the most updated information regarding Compliance Courses and how to access them this year.
If you continue to receive emails from Vector: SafeSchools that indicate you still need to complete courses which you have already completed this Fall, please forward these emails to PD@pfisd.net. Our Technology Team is actively working with Vector: SafeSchools to resolve these account issues. Per Vector: SafeSchools, be sure you are only logging in with your e# (ClassLinks) and not your PfISD Email Address.
Please direct SafeSchools/Compliance Course questions/concerns to PD@pfisd.net

Pflugerville ISD Tax Rate
✅The Voter Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE) asks for an additional 7 pennies to be added to the M&O tax rate.
⬇️With the M&O tax decrease of 18 cents due to HB3 compression, and the board decreasing the I&S rate by 4 cents, homeowners will see a 22-cent decrease in their overall PfISD tax rate.
✅If approved, homeowners will still see a 15-cent decrease in their overall PfISD tax rate, and this will result in an additional $10.7 milllion for PfISD.
