is in the middle of the Texas Triangle formed by the state's biggest cities ranging from Dallas-Fort Worth to San Antonio and Houston. Superintendent Dr. Jana Rueter says it is attracting more families to Elgin ISD. For parents who currently have a kindergartener at Elgin ISD, the district's enrollment is projected to at least double by the time they enter high school.
How would this impact taxpayers? Rueter says there would be zero tax rate impact to the voters, but if property values go up, that would impact a homeowner's tax bill."So in order for us to do this ... It's asking our voters to approve debt that the district would go into for us to be able to spend the money needed for these long-term projects and capital improvements," Rueter said.
