ANDREWS Andrews ISD voters approved a $156.7 million bond package Saturday, based on unofficial results, a news release stated.
The bond included Propositions A, B and C. Results will become official once they are canvassed.
“I want to thank our dedicated school board, committed staff and the Andrews community who did vote in support of Bond 2023,” Superintendent of Schools Bobby Azam said.
Taxes are frozen for people 65 and older.
Andrews ISD’s total tax rate is $1 per $100 valuation. That includes 86 cents for maintenance and operations and 14 cents for debt service. If the bond passes, the total tax rate would be $1.06 per $100 valuation, Azam said in a previous interview.
The 14 cents is due to a 2018 bond. Once it is paid off in 2035, that 14 cents would come off the tax rate.
