The following is for informational purposes only: The estimated millage that will be levied for the proposed bonds in 2010, under current law is .90 mill ($0.90 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a net increase in the debt levy of -0- mills.

If the school district borrows from the State to pay debt service on the bonds, the school district may be required to continue to levy mills beyond the term of the bonds to repay the State. (Pursuant to State law, expenditure of bond proceeds must be audited, and the proceeds cannot be used for repair or maintenance costs, teacher, administrator or employee salaries, or other operating expenses.)
