The PISD follows the same tax-and-spend practices

PISD taxpayers you need to be on watch and ready to defend your property in the near future.

Local Watchdog Theresa Fraser has been following the tax-and-spend practices of Boerne ISD for several years, and the information she's gathered is shocking:

In 10 years, local tax revenue collected by BISD has increased more than 300% to educate just 38.5% more students. (Click here to see a spreadsheet showing the tax revenue increase.)

The Boerne Star has run a series of articles profiling local school board candidates. Some candidates have bragged that the school district hasn't had to raise taxes, but that is disingenuous at best. While the tax rate may not have gone up, revenue certainly has.

So the question for the candidates remains: With so much excess in tax revenue, can Boerne ISD residents expect to see any property tax relief?
