Dillos Vote YES!

Dillos…Did You Know?!  Early voting ENDS THIS FRIDAY, November 4th!  Get out to the polls THIS WEEK and join Hill PTA in voting YES in support of the AISD 2022 Bond Proposal.  Do you have questions about bond dollars and recapture dollars?  Here’s what AISD has to say about it:

Why does the district need bond funding to fix the issues with facilities?
“In recent years, our normal operating budget, or general fund—which pays for things like salaries, utilities and supplies—has been used to pay for major repairs. We reserve a portion of our general fund for unexpected repairs, but funding major projects such as roofing, plumbing or HVAC repairs from the general fund reduces amounts available for other expenses, such as teacher salaries and academic programming. Additionally, our bond dollars are NOT subject to recapture. For the 2020–21 school year, the state took more than 53% of the district’s maintenance tax collections in recapture payments. This means that when we pay for repairs out of our general fund, we only get 47 cents worth of repairs for each dollar. However, we keep every cent of our bond dollars, so they go twice as far.”
