WYLIE ISD trustees set a public hearing for Aug. 25 on the proposed 2025–26 budget and published tax rate, and staff presented the district’s recommended rates for public notice.

District staff recommended the maintenance and operations rate (M&O) of 0.6669 and an interest and sinking (I&S) rate of 0.4830, which staff said produces a combined tax rate of 1.1499 per $100 of taxable value. A board member asked about the newspaper posting and website availability; staff said they had reserved space in the local paper and would publish the proposed budget and rates on the district website as well.
