The Community Advisory Committee, a diverse group of local citizens, parents and school employees, met four times over several months to examine facility needs, costs, possible projects and to rank these needs. Priorities included improving facility safety, land acquisition, adding CTE classrooms at THS and providing our elementary schools adequate spaces and furniture.

The committee reached 100% consensus in their recommendation to the school board Monday evening to call for an $85.5 million bond election in November 2022 with NO RATE TAX INCREASE.

Community members expressed frustration that the State Legislature requires language about a property tax increase to be used on the ballot when the district is NOT increasing the rate. Taylor ISD has managed finances well enough to actually lower the tax rate and does not anticipate any other increase to the tax rate.

We thank these committee members for their dedication and hard work.

Twenty-three Taylor ISD students began a six weeks paid summer internship at Samsung on June 13th. Representing both Legacy and Taylor High School, the interns spent their first day in orientation, learning about the company and it’s operations.
