Information On YISD IFA Bond Election
Election Day May 8, 2010
Early voting April 26 – May 4
Quick Facts
The Instructional Facilities Allotment, or IFA, program gives school districts state assistance in repaying bonds so taxpayers do not cover the entire cost. The state would cover 57% and taxpayers would cover 43%.
If the IFA bond proposal passes, YISD must apply for these state funds. If YISD does not receive the funds, taxpayers will not be held accountable because the bond program simply would not happen.
If the bond program does occur, there will be no tax rate increase for taxpayers age 65 and over. (Note: senior citizens must request this status to qualify)
If the bond program does occur, the tax rate on a home valued at $100,000 would increase by $4.47 a month.
