Honoring our Veterans!
Veterans Day!
Mason PTO will be creating a wall in honor of all the brave men and women related to our students who have provided military service for our country. We are excited to start this tradition, and we need your help.
Please add your information for your Veteran and the students related to them to THIS DOCUMENT (click hyperlink). Please fill out all the fields. In addition, please send in a photo of your Veteran to your child’s teacher. (no larger than 5 x 7 please). It does not have to be on photo paper, photos printed on computer paper will work just fine. Please make sure that the BACK of the picture has your child’s name and veteran’s name so we can match everyone up correctly. Please note that photos will not be returned.
If you have Veterans you would like to honor, but do not have photos, we can list their names. Just add them to the document but denote “no photo” so we will know it is a name only.
Please have all information added to the google doc and photos into the teacher or emailed to presidentmasonpto@gmail.com no later than Monday, November 7th.
Proposition A and B Elections
The ballot for this November’s federal, state, and local elections will include two propositions related to Leander ISD.
Proposition A is an Attendance Credit Election. Due to an increase in the level of property values per student in Leander ISD, the state is removing about $31.2 million from our district through the process known as recapture, or Robin Hood. If LISD voters approve Proposition A, the district will make its required recapture payment to the state. If Proposition A fails, the state will look for other ways to remove revenue from LISD. For example, the state could force some taxpayers in our district to start paying taxes to a different district instead of LISD.
Proposition B is a Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election. By approving Proposition B, voters would ratify the tax rate set by the LISD Board of Trustees — a rate that is 6.24 cents lower than last year’s rate. Due to rising property values, the average tax payment would be about $38 per month higher than the average payment last year under Proposition B. Passage of Proposition B would generate an additional $32 million for academics in LISD, including teacher pay and the continuity of programs.
For much more information about these propositions, please visit LeanderISD.org/elections. You can also sign up for informational text-message updates by texting @LISDMoney to 81010. You can also text-message your questions to 512-399-0068.
