Schertz-Cibolo-Universal City ISD will be making changes to its 2025-26 fiscal year budget after the district’s tax rate proposition failed.

In a nutshell: At its Nov. 20 meeting, the SCUCISD board unanimously approved the adoption of a FY 2025-26 property tax rate of $1.0769 per $100 valuation.

This rate replaces the voter-approval property tax rate of $1.1969 per $100 valuation that would have been in place had SCUCISD’s Proposition A passed.

According to canvassed results, 5,926 votes, or 49.59%, were in favor of the tax rate, while 6,024 votes, or 50.41%, were against the measure.

Superintendent Paige Meloni said the district will develop an operational sustainability committee comprised of teachers, staff, parents and community members to monitor district finances.

According to Bobby Wilkinson, the owner of Caring Transitions of San Antonio Central, the number of people turning 60 is increasing every year.

“More and more people are turning older than 60 this year,” Wilkinson said.

“When you have a family member that is not able to take care of themselves, the focus should be on them, not other things,” Wilkinson said.

What are the options? The process begins with a consultation with family members to discuss the logistics of the moving process.

“We come in and take care of some of the stress of the situation,” Wilkinson said.

Whether it's from a single-family home to an independent living facility or from one nursing home to another, Wilkinson said any situation can be covered.

Chesmar Homes and the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority, or GBRA, have submitted a wastewater permit requesting the authorization to dispose of 460,000 gallons of treated wastewater. The proposed wastewater treatment facility would serve a 117-acre development called Purlsong.

Some details: During an Oct. 2 Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, or TCEQ, public meeting, Comal County residents spoke out against the submitted permit.

Purlsong is a mixed-use development that will consist of 148 single-family residences and six multifamily condominium lots for 58 total condos, according to Comal County Commissioners’ agenda documents. The final plat and two variances were approved by commissioners Sept. 25.

Variances are when a developer wants to stray away from county subdivision regulations. The county commissioners court must approve all variance requests, Comal County Engineer Robert Boyd told Community Impact.
