From CSISD:

If the VATRE is approved, CSISD will have an additional $5 million to use toward increasing employee salaries. The CSISD tax rate would still be lowered 3.71 cents, which is 21.99 cents (or 15.7%) lower than it was in 2017-18.

Ballot Language for CSISD Prop A:
"Ratifying the ad valorem tax rate of $1.1781 per $100 valuation in College Station Independent School District for the current year, a rate that will result in an increase of 6.07 percent in maintenance and operations tax revenue for the district for the current year as compared to the preceding year, which is an additional $6,519,285."
