What’s on the ballot?
Voters will consider raising the maintenance and operation rate by $0.0294 per $100 valuation in a voter approval tax rate election, also known as a VATRE, in Proposition A. A VATRE is used when a district needs to increase its tax rate above a certain threshold, which voters must then consider in an election.
The district’s total tax rate would be $1.0569 per $100 valuation, if approved by voters. This is broken down between $0.7869 for maintenance and operations and $0.27 for interest and sinking, which covers debt payments.
The bond totaling $1.08 billion is broken down by three propositions that touch on maintenance, technology and sports facilities.
- Proposition B includes $986 million for refreshing campuses, constructing a new Staley Middle School, purchasing new buses, replacing furniture and equipment, among other costs.
- Proposition C is $88.2 million and includes a technology update to replace outdated devices.
- Proposition D comes in at $11.2 million to construct a tennis center of 16 outdoor courts for tournaments.
