🚨 Alert (LEVEL 9)

School Board Proposing Tax Hike Election

📅 September 9, 2026

The Hawkins ISD board is voting to officially call a ‘Voter-Approval Tax Rate Election’ (VATRE). This means they are proposing a property tax rate increase so significant that it requires direct voter approval in an election.

Response

ATTEND & SPEAK: This is the official vote to put a tax hike on your ballot. Ask the board why they need more of your money than the state’s voter-approval rate allows. Contact the Hawkins ISD board (see district website for contact info): ‘I urge you to live within your means and cancel the tax hike election.’

💰 Impact: Higher Property Taxes
