Tenaha ISD Board of Trustees Approves Lower Tax Rate - August 2, 2022, Tenaha, TX
In a noon meeting of the Tenaha Independent School District Board of Trustees, a proposed tax rate was approved at the rate of $ 1.0922. This is less than last year by a deficit of $0.01719.
Superintendent of Schools, Mr. Don Fallin says, "Any time we are in a position to lower the tax rate, we will most definitely do so. Due to our taxable value increasing this year, we were able to propose and approve this decrease." This decrease began several years ago with the new school bond prior to 2008 when the tax rate was $1.50 per $100 of value. Since that time, several calculations and factors have created changes in the tax rate.
Tenaha ISD begins the school year with a full staff, multiple projects in the works including building, maintenance and operations and renewed expectations for all involved. The new school year is slated to begin Wednesday, August 10th.

Hey Tigers! We are inching closer to the start of a great school year! Here are few upcoming dates you will want to make note of, along with some of the supply lists we have received for our middle school and high school teachers.
As we hit the month of August, please be aware that a lot of information will begin appearing on both our social media channels (facebook- Tenaha Independent School District and Insta - Tenaha Schools) as well as our website www.tenahaisd.com. Please stay tuned to these outlets to be informed of dates and information as we receive it. Our goal is to keep you as informed as possible with the CORRECT information.
The link below lists supplies by teacher name for a few of our high school and middle school teachers. This list is NOT complete due to teachers not returning from break at this time, along with the addition of several new staff members. Our middle and high school students will not receive their schedules until August 8th and in some cases until the first day of school, so please rest assured that teachers will discuss supply needs with students in the first days of instruction and allow ample time for those to be purchased. Thank you for your patience and understanding.
Once again, for any additional questions, please do not hesitate to call our offices during our normal hours, Monday through Thursday from 7:30am - 3:30 pm. We are looking forward to a great school year!! Goooo Tigers!!!
