ABOUT THE MANSFIELD ISD PENNY SWAP ?

When you go to vote in the November 2 election , you ’ ll see the Mansfield ISD Penny Swap on your ballot . The proposal asks citizens who live in Mansfield ISD to consider allowing MISD to restructure the school district tax rate . The Penny Swap would move 13 cents from the district ’ s debt side of the tax rate to the maintenance and operations side , keeping the total tax rate the same . In fact , the 2021 total tax rate is approximately 3 cents lower than last year . With voter approval , this swap would generate approximately $ 24.7 million annually in additional revenue for MISD , which would be used to help maintain student programs and schools of choice .
