What happened
Voters in El Paso are deciding on Proposition A for Socorro Independent School District, which seeks approximately $49 million in additional funding through a proposed tax-rate increase. This measure would raise the property tax rate by 12 cents, from 93 cents to $1.05 per $100 of taxable property value. Separately, Ysleta Independent School District is asking voters to approve a shift in how the district collects property tax revenue, which is estimated to generate $5.5 million in ongoing funding.

Why it matters
The propositions directly affect property tax rates for homeowners in the area, with Socorro ISD estimating the increase could amount to about $10 per month for a homeowner with a $250,000 home. The additional revenue is intended to support school operations, including teacher salaries, campus safety, and HVAC systems.
