💻 Socorro ISD maintains 41,500 student devices that require regular updates and replacement.

Older devices become harder to update, and keeping them in circulation longer can lead to increased downtime, maintenance costs and reduced instructional efficiency.

Proposition A includes $8 million for student devices, including funding to replace devices that are past their useful life.

🎓 More than 90% of Socorro ISD high school students participate in Career and Technical Education programs.

👩‍🏫 25 students to 1 teacher. That’s Socorro ISD’s current student-teacher ratio for kindergarten through fifth grade, while Pre-K is 22-to-1. The state requires a 22-to-1 ratio for Pre-K through fourth grade.

Teacher availability directly impacts classroom ratios and class sizes. Socorro ISD estimates approximately 100 positions would need to be filled to bring classroom sizes down to TEA standards.

Proposition A includes $9 million to hire teachers to reduce class sizes.

📊 Nearly $9 million in interest saved for taxpayers.

Voters approved bond funding in 2017 for renovations to Socorro ISD school facilities. Since then, the district has paid down debt early, saving taxpayers nearly $9 million in interest.

This November, voters will consider Proposition A, which would provide $49.2 million in new funding in the current fiscal year and is expected to provide at least as much each year thereafter for teacher and staff compensation, student programs, safety and security, technology, and HVAC and bus replacements.

🛡️ Safety and security remains a top priority for Socorro ISD.

The state requires every campus to have armed security officers and additional safety measures, but those requirements are not fully funded. The state provides $57 per student for safety and security, while Socorro ISD’s actual needs amount to $144 per student. This leaves the district to fund an additional $4 million annually for security.

Proposition A includes funding to help Socorro ISD provide competitive salaries for armed officers and maintain the safety personnel needed to meet state requirements.
