Early voting under way
in special school election
Early voting continues In the Special Llano
School District election for voter approval of a
Proposition number 3 to pay the state ap-
proximately $2.1 million as the "best" of the
five options open to the school district to
reduce Its taxable property wealth as dictated
by Senate Bill 7. Early voting began on August
25 and will continue until Sept. 10. The
election has been set for Tuesday, Sept. 14.
Eligible voters may vote early at the Llano
County Clerk s Office at the courthouse from
8:30 a m. to 4:30 p.m. weekdays. Voters in the
Klngsland area may vote at the KMUl) offices
from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. while voters in the
Horseshoe Bay area can vote at Quail Point
also from 8:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m.
Llano I.S.D. Is one of 108 schools that are
termed "rich" according to Senate Bill 7 and
who must choose one of five options to reduce
their taxable property wealth to $280,000 per
pupil. Llano I.S.D. was faced with either 1)
consolidation with another district, 2)
detachment of territory. 3) purchase weighted
student credits from the state. 4) contract with
another school district to educate their stu
dents, or 5) tax base consolidation only. Llano
1.5. D. is asking Its voters to approve Option #3
which seems to be the best option for Llano
1.5. D.
Llano LS D., with a tax base of $719,925,023.
currently has a wealth of approximately
$401,216 per student based on a student body
of 1200.
Llano I.S.D. Superintendent Dorman Moore
urges voters to vote yes to Option 3 because if
the proposition fails, there will be no other
option but for the commissioner to
consolidate Llano I.S.D. with another school
district in order to reduce the wealth per
student.
It is estimated that Llano I.S.D. will be
sending 28.32% of its total amount of taxes
collected by the district to Austin.
