Salary hikes on hold for school employees, justice center denied by voters Both Hutto and the Coupland Independent School District suffered defeats at the ballot box Nov. 3 after voters rejected measures supporting a new justice center and increasing staff and salaries for education employees.

The only school district in Williamson, Bastrop and Travis counties to have its school bond package pass during the General Election was the Manor Independent School District, where voters approved $400 million for upgrades and new technology.

For the second year in a row, Coupland ISD's voter-approved tax rate election failed at the voting booth.
