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 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).
