Focused on Fiscal Responsibility

The school district has been a responsible steward of taxpayer dollars and has looked for ways to reduce the impact on taxpayers as we maintain our facilities. Through sound financial planning, the district and board are able to present a solution that minimizes the impact on our local property taxpayers as much as possible. In recent years, the district worked hard to position the district in a way that allowed it to address its facility issues. This included paying down debt, cutting operating expenditures, and establishing Fund 46 — a facilities maintenance fund to help ensure long-term facility maintenance efforts can continue in a sustainable manner.

Property Tax Impact

• If approved, the referendum would result in a reduced property tax impact from the previous year of $0.37 per every $1,000 of assessed property value. This would translate to a reduction from the previous year of about $37 on a home worth $100,000 in our community.

• If the referendum does not pass, taxpayers will realize a reduction of approximately $2.62 per every $1,000 of assessed property value, or a $262 reduction on a home worth $100,000 in our community.
