WHAT WILL THE BALLOT SAY?

Voters will be asked for permission to borrow the full amount of $135,468,916. Even though state aid will contribute toward that amount, the school district would be named as the debt holder, so voter approval is needed for the full amount.

Much like a homeowner would finance improvements through a home equity loan, the district would pay for projects by borrowing (through the sale of bonds) and spread those costs over the 20-year life of the loan. The amount to be repaid would be offset by approximately $45 million in debt service aid (state aid) and shared by all property owners in Freehold Township.
