Nederland ISD growing

Recommended Posts

So,  just a little math here (with a calculator) :)  .   If you have a house that is valued at $100,000 ,

Depending where you live :

You  would pay $1150 in taxes to NISD

You would pay  $1294  in taxes to BMT ISD

You would pay  $1444 in taxes to PNG ISD

You would pay $1480  in taxes to PAISD

and you would pay $1340 in taxes to HJISD.

 

This is not taking in account tax exceptions of course such as homestead, over 65 , disabled Vet , etc.

I think the only opinions that matter are the NISD taxpayers... Obviously for whatever reason the majority didn't see the need, at that time, to pass the bond...If the three new board members can promote the need/sell it and get it passed then great but in the end you accept the will of the (majority) of the taxpayers.. whether you agree with it or not.. Doesn't matter what PNG, United, Vidor or any other fans think..It's always easy to spend others money...

Why isn't this logic used when discussions of BISD and their stadium name comes up?  Asking for a friend

You are comparing apples to oranges. NISD's allocations, expenditures, and decision to pass a bond (or not) probably is the concern of the NISD taxpayers, as long as the district is performing adequately. Its a judgement call that a case for or a case against can be honestly made. Of course, it still needs to be "open and transparent" to all.

Conversely, BISD's wretched history of theft, corruption, ugly racial politics and gross underperformance which ultimatly resulted the district being taken over and placed in state conservatorship by the TEA, stained the reputation of the entire SE TX region. Even as a (former) BISD taxpayer, I was told to BUTT OUT of any BISD discussions in this forum, even as those very same ones refused to reciprocate by staying out of all disucssions that were NOT BISD.

This website comes in handy

This is the hidden content, please

Actually Nederland ISD might have the lower school tax rate but PNG actually has the lower school taxes because their homestead exemption includes a 20% exemption PLUS 25,000 so using 100,000 dollar home as an example PNG's taxes would be 794.43 vs. Nederland at 862.50.

You’re absolutely right.  My post was not a condemnation of Nederland, I was taking a jab at the self righteous lowlife Supt. at Barbers Hill who ranted & raved about Vidor’s field because it was muddy after 3 days of monsoon rains.  Of course when you’re blessed with a tax base like Barbers Hill, you can afford artificial turf fields, new facilities, and an indoor practice area. Unfortunately, most school districts aren’t that blessed.

Btw, I agree 100% with you.  NISD Taxpayers are the only one who’s opinion matters.

Oh no I knew exactly what you were getting at. If anything it was in support of your sentiments.  We're in violent agreement! LoL!

Trust and believe, I stay out of Bubble Business unless provoked the vast majority of the time

But as a current and long time BISD taxpayer, which knows the theft didn't begin in 1996 due to briefly working for said district, I think you and other should stay out of it period.  Do unto others for a change.  You don't have to sit on your high horse and rain down judge for every single thing.

Rumor I heard this weekend was that Ned will be installing industrial grade fire monitors to more efficiently soak the field pre any game with PN-G. Should save taxpayers some money over time as opposed to rolling out 50 water hoses. 

They better wet it down for that September 7th game too...:)

Akifan, your excuses only make the victory last year that much more enjoyable!  the fact that Nederland won even 1 time when you guys have a once in a generation talent has to be disappointing in Indian land

I actually posted that after some joking comments were made at the stjfl coaches meeting. No excuses. Nederland outcoaches PN-G and that is all there is to it.

Is that for when y’all shoot the flares on the field when y’all are losing?

So now as a NISD tax payer we had to rent and pay money to rent to practice at The Butch yesterday. This is getting pathetic, whenever the bonds come vote yes to new schools and new facilities. Long over due, PS this isn’t the first time we had to rent somewhere to do this, we have had to do it at PNG and Lamar in the past as well.
