For the second straight year, Forney ISD is proposing a reduced tax rate for residents living within the Forney ISD school boundaries. Last year, the school board reduced the rate by 7 cents, and this year the district is proposing to drop by an additional 9.5 cents.
In addition to tax rate savings, Forney ISD is currently $70 million under budget with their active construction projects.
“We’re always looking at ways to save taxpayers money while still providing the best for our students,” Forney ISD Superintendent Dr. Justin Terry said. “With the help of House Bill 3 passed in the last legislative session and the tremendous growth in our community, we are proposing a reduced Maintenance and Operations tax rate this year. Our board and leadership team, along with our construction manager, Gallagher Construction, have worked hard to create innovative facilities in an affordable way, with our current projects already coming in $70 Million under budget.”
