DECATUR ISD ADOPTED A TAX 
RATE THAT WILL RAISE MORE 
TAXES FOR MAINTENANCE AND 
OPERATIONS THAN LAST YEAR'S 
TAX RATE. THE TAX RATE WILL 
EFFECTIVELY BE RAISED BY 
10% AND WILL RAISE TAXES 
FOR MAINTENANCE AND 
OPERATIONS ON A 
$100,000 HOME BY 
APPROXIMATELY $0. 
NOTE: The legislative language
appears to request the total tax rate 
to be compared to the effective 
maintenance and operations rate. 
The total tax rate includes the 
interest and sinking rate. Hence, the  
above calculation compares the 
total tax rate of $1.3100 to the 
effective maintenance and 
operations rate of $1.1777. The 
proposed maintenance and operations 
rate is only $1.0400. The 
I&S tax rate is $0.27.
08-09 M&O Rate: $1.04
M&O Taxes on $100,000 = $884.00
09-10 M&O Rate: $1.04
M&O Taxes on $100,000 = $884.00
Difference = $0.00
