MISD Bonds: If you support public education and ALSO want your property tax rate to lower, vote FOR all 4 ballot initiatives. Beware: the ballot language is confusing and asks you to approve a tax increase, even though the result will be a tax DECREASE. For more info: https://www.mckinneyisd.net/about-misd/2021-election/.
