Today is Election Day and the last chance to cast your vote in the Attendance Credit Election. Polls are open until 7 p.m. at the Allen ISD Service Center (1451 N. Watters Rd.) and the City of Allen Municipal Court Building (301 Century Pkwy).

As a reminder, a FOR vote will allow Allen ISD to continue to make its legally required recapture payment to the state through the purchase of attendance credit. With an approved vote, the total tax rate will not change, and the district will continue to use the “Purchasing Attendance Credit” option, which is the most cost-effective method of recapture payment.

An AGAINST vote means the Texas Education Agency will begin to detach $3.03 billion in commercial property tax value from our school district. The main impact of Allen ISD losing $3.03 billion in property tax value to detachment of territory is AISD would need to raise the I&S tax rate by approximately $0.09 in order to continue to service the district’s current debt schedule. This increase would equate to a $337.50 yearly tax increase per average AISD single-family home ($375,000).

Have you voted yet? Monday and Tuesday are your last days to early vote and cast your ballot in the Attendance Credit Election.

Reminder: If voters choose "Against", the state will permanently detach more than $3 Billion in commercial property tax revenue from Allen ISD. This will cause a tax rate increase of $0.09, resulting in a $337 annual tax increase for the average AISD homeowner.

If voters choose "For", Allen ISD will be authorized to purchase attendance credit to continue to fulfill the recapture payment required by the state. The total tax rate will remain unchanged, and will potentially be lowered.
