Voting this Fall
This fall, registered voters who live in the Bloomfield School District will be asked to vote on the Public School Capital Improvements Act, SB-9. A “yes” vote will reauthorize the current 2-Mill Levy that has been in place since 2013.
SLIDE 4
The Public School Capital Improvements Act
The Public School Capital Improvements Act allows school districts to ask local voters to approve a property levy of up to two mills for a maximum of six years.
SLIDE 5
The Public School Capital Improvements Act
(continued) One mill is a property tax that equals $1 for every $1,000 of your property’s assessed net taxable value (usually a third of the full residential property value). Two mills is $2 for every $1,000 in net taxable value. Bloomfield Schools are requesting a 2-Mill Levy.

Why These Funds Are Needed
High-quality, well-maintained and safe schools are an absolute necessity for every community. They are important not just to children and their families – they are central to the health of a community because they help drive economic development and maintain or increase property values.
