"I shall never use profanity except in discussing house rent and taxes." Mark Twain
Did you know? According to the Energy Information Administration, on July 27, 1992 the price of gas was $1.13. Can you imagine paying that at the pump now? Well...
The Board of Trustees in the Carrollton-Farmers Branch School District approved the 2012-2013 Budget with the lowest tax rate since 1992. Yes, you read that right, our tax rate is lower than it has been in twenty years. The 2012-2013 tax rate is $1.3306. During times when the cost of everything, especially gas, is soaring, our school district has worked diligently to be an efficient, effective system reaching our goal of high achievement for all students.
The lower tax rate will save a homeowner $3.28 a month for a home valued at $165,000.
The Board of Trustees recognized the outstanding job our teachers and staff have done to continuously increase student achievement and approved a one and a half percent raise for all staff members.
At a Special Board Meeting in August, the School Board approved a budget and tax rate for the 2012-2013 school year. To find out more, visit www.cfbisd.edu.

As a homeowner I am very thankful. As a parent I am so glad you gave the staff a raise. I like to see the teachers making the money they deserve for educating my three children and the rest of the CFBISD. Thank you Board of Trustees for your help in making this district a success.
