The Role of Solar Farms

One of the most important aspects of the Rosebud-Lott ISD bond proposal is the significant financial contribution from taxes on solar farms. 

These solar farms will cover 64% of the $25 million bond, reducing the amount local taxpayers will have to fund. This means taxpayers will only be responsible for $9 million of the project’s total cost. It's a rare opportunity to upgrade our schools with minimal financial impact on the community. 

However, it’s important to consider the bonds now, as the value of solar farms depreciates over time, reducing the potential tax revenue they can generate in the future. By considering the bond this November, voters can choose to maximize the benefit of the solar farms, ensuring that the district receives critical funding for necessary school improvements. 

“Without this bond, our schools will continue to rely on outdated systems, and the solar farms' contribution will be lost,” RLISD Superintendent Jim Rosebrock said.

Early voting starts on October 21, and Election Day is November 5—don’t miss your chance to be part of this important decision.
