Building Bond Information

The following slides provide details on the estimated financing for this building bond referendum.

Didn’t the District just allow a bond to “roll off”?

Yes, the Board of Education intentionally allowed the prior bond to expire without asking for additional funds, which resulted in a reduction

• f property tax assessments for the past three years.

The reason the Board did this was to be systematic in creating a comprehensive study of our facility needs. The following chart shows the prior bond, along with the new referendum building bond if approved by the voters.
