Revenue Purpose Statement
The board has approved a facility committee to create a recommendation on our elementary building issues, athletics, and other building projects. We are planning on spending our state wide penny sales tax funds to accomplish these projects. The original revenue purpose statement for our district was specific to secondary projects. In order to use these funds for the elementary projects we must pass a new revenue purpose statement. This requires a community election and a 50%+1 majority to pass. THIS IS NOT A PROPERTY TAX ISSUE AND DOES NOT RAISE TAXES, but is rather a language change. The dates available for an election are:
Election Date: Deadline for filing:
April 7, 2015 February 20, 2015
June 30, 2015 May 15, 2015
September 8, 2015 (reg. election) July 31, 2015
February 2, 2016 December 18, ,2015
April 5, 2016 February 19, 2016
Dr. Wells recommends the June 30th election date which means the board will need to pass a resolution at the May board meeting or before. If the ballot issue fails we must wait for six months (February 2, 2016).
