Propositions

  • Proposition One is an expenditure budget of $72,179,915 for

2018-2019.

  • Proposition Two would authorize the establishment of a

Capital Reserve Transportation Fund with an ultimate amount not to exceed $2,000,000. The District will be able to fund and expend from this reserve for the next ten years. This reserve is utilized for bus and other vehicle purchases.

  • Proposition Three seeks voter authorization to expend from

the current Capital Transportation Reserve an amount not to exceed $800,000 for the purchase of up to 7 new buses. It is important for voters to remember that authorizing expenditure from the Capital Transportation Reserve fund will have zero impact on our local tax levy.

Propositions - Continued

  • Proposition Four requests the use of up to $635,000 from the

General Capital Reserve Fund to undertake a capital project to create a parking lot on a parcel of District owned land, which sits directly across from Errick Road Elementary School. The additional parking lot would reduce the congestion and parking on roadways, especially during afterschool/evening

  • activities. It is important for voters to remember that

authorizing the creation of the parking lot from the General Capital Reserve fund will have zero impact on our local tax levy.

  • Proposition Five authorizes the allocation of up to $400,000

from the General Capital Reserve Fund to construct alterations and improvements to the Dectron Unit for the High School

  • pool. It is important for voters to remember that authorizing

work on the Dectron Unit from the General Capital Reserve fund will have zero impact on our local tax levy.
