📢 Clearing Up Confusion About Propositions F & S ✅ The $0.90 Debt Service Levy will remain in place, no matter the election outcome on April 8th. This levy was extended by voters in 2019, and bonds were issued through 2039. * If Prop F passes, it funds new improvements with no rate increase to the levy. However, the rate would be extended to 2047. * If Prop F fails, the levy will continue—it is used to pay off existing bonds and save on interest with early payments. ✅ The Operating Levy remains unchanged at $2.75 should voters not approve Prop S. This Levy supports day-to-day school operations and will not decrease. 📈 Keep in mind that your tax bill can still change based on assessed property values, which are determined by the county—not the school district.
