WHAT WILL THE BALLOT SAY?
WHAT WILL THE BALLOT SAY?
PLEASE NOTE: Voters will be asked for permission to borrow the full amount of $75,725,650. Even though state aid will reduce 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 25-year life of the loan. The amount to be repaid is offset by the debt service aid (state aid) and shared by all property owners in Stafford Township.
