Proposition A signifies a critical step towards providing much-needed funding for public education, as well as the opportunity to invest in the dedicated teachers and staff who play a vital role in shaping the future of our community.

The Round Rock Chamber recognizes the significance of Proposition A and its potential to positively impact the quality of education in our community. By voting for Proposition A, Round Rock residents can contribute to:

• Attract and Retain High-Quality Educators: Teachers and staff are the backbone of our education system, working tirelessly to nurture the next generation of leaders. Voting for Proposition A allows us to reward their dedication by providing much-deserved pay raises, making RRISD an attractive destination for top-tier educators and support staff.
• Ensuring Quality Public Education: Passing Proposition A will provide RRISD with essential funding required to maintain student-to-teacher classroom ratios and class sizes that continue to enhance the quality of education in our schools.
• Fulfilling the Promise of a Brighter Future: A strong public education system is not just an investment in our children’s future but also in the future of Round Rock as a whole. Well-funded schools are critical in attracting businesses, fostering economic growth, and creating a thriving community where residents are proud to live and work.
