Greenville Public Schools -- Bonding Proposal

Shall Greenville Public Schools, Montcalm, Kent and Ionia Counties, Michigan, borrow the sum of not to exceed Fourteen Million Five Hundred Seventy Thousand Dollars ($14,570,000) and issue its general obligation unlimited tax bonds therefor, in one or more series, for the purpose of: erecting, furnishing and equipping additions to and partially remodeling, furnishing and refurnishing, equipping and re-equipping school facilities; acquiring, installing and equipping technology for school facilities; constructing, equipping, developing and improving athletic/physical education facilities and play fields; and developing and improving sites? The following is for informational purposes only: The estimated millage that will be levied for the proposed bonds in 2011, under current law is .89 mill ($0.89 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation) for a -0- net increase in debt millage. The maximum number of years the bonds may be outstanding, exclusive of any refunding, is twenty (20) years. The estimated simple average annual millage anticipated to be required to retire this bond debt is 1.50 mills ($1.50 on each $1,000 of taxable valuation). 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.)
