The first of a series of information sessions about the upcoming ACC bond and property tax cap election is 10 a.m. Monday, September 29, at Hays Campus.

Dr. Charles Cook, ACC provost and executive vice president of academic affairs, will present an overview of the proposals and take questions. See a list of future campus presentations below.

Nov. 4 bond and tax cap election

On November 4, registered voters residing within the ACC District will decide three initiatives: two separate bond propositions and a proposed increase to the cap on the college’s maintenance and operations (M&O) tax rate.

Proceeds from the bonds would be used to renovate and expand several campuses, build a Leander campus, and purchase land for a workforce campus in southeast Travis County. The M&O tax revenues would be used for campus upkeep and operations, as well as to fund new programs and hire and retain high-caliber faculty and staff.

Register to vote by Monday, Oct. 6

To vote in the November 4 election, you must register by Monday, October 6.
