Tax Information

Because of our district’s fiscal responsibility, we have a unique opportunity to implement the community’s plan to modernize our middle schools while giving our taxpayers even more property tax relief.

We continue to spend less per student than the state average by minimizing administrative expenses and focusing funding on our classrooms. By responsibly paying down debt, we’ve saved taxpayers over $10 million while reducing taxes, maintaining our position as the 3rd lowest tax rate among our benchmark districts. We even abated a $2 million surplus back to taxpayers in 2023.

As the district has diligently paid off old debt, we are able to re-issue a portion of that debt amount to complete the effort to update our middle schools while letting the remainder fall off, reducing the Bond and Interest Fund tax rate for our residents. In addition, the district will be paying these bonds off in just 15 years, saving our taxpayers up to $85 million in interest compared to longer financing options.

If the referendum is successful, the average district homeowner would see an average tax decrease of $71 per year in the bond and interest fund for the next 15 years.
