The Board of Trustess for Mount Vernon ISD voted unanimously to hold the line on the tax rate and keep it at $.99024. This is the fifth year in a row that the board has maintained this tax rate. An additional tax of $.1965 will be required to meet the obligation for repayment of the $20.5 million bond. For more information, see the Aug. 11 edition of the Mount Vernon Optic-Herald.
