Story, photo by Steve Nash – Special Contributor to Brownwood NewsBrownwood ISD school board members agreed Monday on a proposed tax rate of .9469 per $100 valuation for the 2026-’27 school year, which is the same as the current rate. The tax rate includes $.6669 for maintenance and operations and $.28 for debt service. “All this does is to approve us posting the tax rate in the appropriate places and in the appropriate ways.” Board members will approve the tax rate and budget on Aug. 20. So, the remaining three sophomores will return to the Accelerated High School campus (Tuesday) and they’ll continue working toward the completion of their high school requirements.
