Prop A Funding Priorities

Proposition A (Prop A) is a voter-approved Tax Ratification Election (TRE) scheduled for November 4, 2025. If approved, it would increase Liberty Hill ISD’s recurring annual revenue for the Maintenance & Operations (M&O) budget.

These funds may be used for day-to-day operations, including teacher and staff salaries, student programming, classroom support, and safety measures. If approved, the funds from Prop A would be allocated to three areas:

Restoring Student Programs
Up to $7.2 Million

If Proposition A is approved, funds would be directed to restore programs and staffing reduced in prior budgets.

  • Approximately 70 campus positions for Gifted & Talented, ESL, STEM, library services, behavior support, and class-size reduction (including a return to a 6-of-8 schedule for many secondary teachers).

  • Approximately 25 district support positions in maintenance, grounds, custodial services, transportation, and central office.

  • Instructional support through reinstated secondary planning periods and reduced class sizes.

  • Replenished budgets for campuses and departments impacted by previous reductions.

Safety and Security
Up to $1.3 Million

If Proposition A is approved, funds would support required safety and security measures across the district.

Planned allocations include:

  • Keeping a School Resource Officer on every campus

  • Monitoring programs for student devices and alerts to help keep students safe online

  • School safety notification systems

  • Cybersecurity measures and oversight for district technology

Recruit and Retain Quality Teachers and Staff
Up to $2.2 Million

If Proposition A is approved, funds would support recruitment and retention efforts through pay adjustments and stipends for employees not fully covered under recent state legislation.

Planned allocations include:

  • Continuous Employment Retention Stipend (paid in December 2025):

    • Less than 1 year of service: $500

    • 1–5 years of service: $1,000

    • More than 5 years of service: $1,500

  • 1% raise at midpoint for all employees, with adjustments beginning in February 2026 paychecks

  • Support for critical roles such as teachers, paraprofessionals, bus drivers, special education staff, and counselors
