The second of four Tax Ratification Election (TRE) Community Forums will be tomorrow, Thursday, August 4 at 6 p.m. in the Monterey High School Cafeteria, 3211 47th St. In addition, Lubbock ISD has two more planned community forums for voters to learn more about the upcoming election on August 30.
Superintendent Dr. Berhl Robertson, Jr. will provide information and answer questions about the TRE.
The remaining TRE Community Forums are below, all beginning at 6 p.m.
- Tuesday, August 9: Estacado High School Auditorium, 1504 E. Itasca

On August 30, Lubbock ISD will ask voters to decide whether the district can shift two cents from the Debt Service tax rate to the Maintenance and Operations tax rate. Shifting these two pennies will allow Lubbock ISD to leverage additional state funds, bringing more than $5.5 million in state and local revenue to Lubbock ISD’s operating budget. This shift does not increase the overall tax rate or extend the amount of time for LISD to pay its debt.
