Spring ISD set up voter registration tables at five high school campuses Tuesday, Sept. 15. The outreach gives students a chance to connect with community organizations before the Oct. 5 statewide registration deadline.

The district announced the effort on X, listing seven campuses across four days. Carl Wunsche Sr. High School, Dekaney High School, Momentum High School, Spring High School and Westfield High School hosted tables Sept. 15. Richey Academy follows Thursday, Sept. 17, and Spring Early College Academy on Friday, Sept. 18.

The first day of tables fell on National Voter Registration Day. Harris County's "Get on the Roll!" initiative, led by the Harris County Tax Assessor-Collector and Voter Registrar's Office, deployed Volunteer Deputy Voter Registrars across the county during the week of Sept. 8–15 as part of the same push. Harris County is home to more than 2.7 million registered voters.

The timing matters for Spring ISD families beyond the general election.

The district's Board of Trustees voted unanimously Aug. 19 to place Proposition A, a Voter Approval Tax Rate Election (VATRE), on the Nov. 3 ballot. If approved, Prop A would raise the district's Maintenance and Operations tax rate by 2 cents to $1.1569 per $100 of property value.

For a home valued at $250,000 with a homestead exemption, the increase would cost less than $5 per month. The district estimates Prop A would generate about $5.6 million in additional local revenue and unlock roughly $9.9 million in state funding, a combined $15.5 million impact. Those dollars would go toward teacher and staff pay, student programs, transportation and utilities.

The board voted unanimously.

"Proposition A is about protecting that progress and making sure we have the resources to continue moving forward," Superintendent Kregg Cuellar said at the Aug. 19 board meeting.

The district wrote on X that its goal is to connect students with information so they can make informed decisions about participating in their communities. Spring ISD, which serves about 33,590 students across 41 schools, posted the announcement in both English and Spanish.

To register to vote in Texas, a person must be at least 18 years old, a U.S. citizen and a Texas resident. The registration deadline is Oct. 5. Early voting runs Oct. 19–30, and Election Day is Nov. 3.
