Proposed Referendum - Information

The Board of Education will be voting on a potential April 6, 2010 referendum to cover significant and basic needs across the district – facility repair, security improvements, and technology needs – at the Monday, January 25 Board of Education meeting. If approved, the referendum will ask for $11.1 million for facility and grounds repairs, and $7.1 million in technology needs.
 
The facility needs were prioritized as the most urgent of more than $60 million in projects by the community member-based Enrollment Management Task Force. Because the district has cut $28 million from its budget over the past four years, these urgent needs were not able to be covered in the district’s general fund. As an effect of these budget cuts, computer replacement has been put off for the last two years. Because of their age and operating systems, many district computers are unable to run the necessary software that help students learn in the information age.
 
The district would like to go to referendum in April to take advantage of little or no-interest stimulus funds that would benefit the facilities repairs. These funds could save taxpayers and the district about $1.3 million. In addition, the district is retiring a large portion of debt. By taking on the new loan, the debt service portion of property taxes will remain stable. Additionally, the Board of Education is considering using $1.5 million out of the district reserve fund to reduce the amount to $16.7 million.
 
An informational session/open forum will be held on Monday, January 25 from 5:00-5:55 in room 138 of the District Office, 200 South Broadway.

Recently our District published updated profile documents for each of the four high schools.  Soon we will be distributing these to all families in the East High attendance area using the well-known “Tuesday Envelopes” at the Elementary Schools and directly through the students at middle and high school.

Mr. Christy, our school “Web Master” has uploaded the profile onto our school’s web site, and I want to provide a link here on my blog.
