Socorro ISD Board of Trustees Board Workshop – August 10th, 2026 at 5:30 PM

At its August 10, 2026 workshop, the Socorro ISD Board of Trustees discussed preparations for a possible November voter-approval tax rate election (VATRE), following a failed measure the previous November. District representatives and Advantage, a marketing and public relations firm already engaged by the district, presented a voter-education and outreach strategy, including audience research, mail, digital and social media, in-person presentations, and election information. The firm cited prior campaign experience; the transcript provides no contract amount or number and records no procurement vote or contract award at this meeting. Trustees said a vote on whether to move forward was expected the following week.
