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.

Planned allocations include:

  • Keeping a School Resource Officer on every campus

  • School safety notification systems

  • Cybersecurity measures and oversight for district technology
