The bill amends Section 45.003(b-1) of the Education Code to enhance the information provided on ballot propositions for school district bond elections. Specifically, it requires that the ballot must include a statement indicating that the proposition represents a property tax increase. Additionally, it mandates the inclusion of data regarding the percentage of students in the district who were required to take the mathematics and reading assessments and who performed satisfactorily on those assessments during the most recent school year.
This legislation aims to ensure that voters are fully informed about the financial implications of the bond election and the academic performance of students in the district. The changes are set to take effect 91 days after the conclusion of the legislative session.
