The Investment

As a result of careful planning, proactive repayment of previous debts to reduce interest costs, and current historically low interest rates, the District can fund both referendum questions (if approved) without increasing the debt portion of the school property tax mill rate over the current level.

FINANCIAL HISTORY

  • The District has not asked the community to consider a referendum since 2003.
  • In 2023, the District will make its final payment on the loan from the 2003 referendum. As a result, the debt portion of the school property tax bill will drop.
  • The reduction of loan payments minimizes the tax impact of any new spending.
