Voters are considering 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.
