June 21, 2022- The Boerne ISD Board of Trustees voted to adopt a budget that will lower the district's property tax rate for the fourth straight year.
The 2022-23 tax rate is estimated to decrease by approximately three cents per $100 valuation from $1.20 to $1.17. The district's tax rate has decreased by a total of 18 cents since 2019, and is among one of the lowest school tax rates in the area.

The Board adopted a budget that will fund three of the district’s top priorities, including the launching of PTECH (Pathway to Technology Early College High School).
Other key budget items adopted were:
*Compensation Increases, including:
*Teachers, nurses, and librarians will receive a 3.5% increase as part of the annual step equating to $2,020 more per year.
*Paraprofessional and professional employees will receive 3.5% of their new pay grade midpoint.
*Auxiliary employees were granted emergency pay during the spring in the amount of $2.00 per hour. The pay differential will become permanent to their pay for 22-23, equating to a 6.5% to 12.0% of the midpoint increase for these employees.
*Guest Teachers will also maintain the emergency pay rates implemented in the spring.
