Last practice; bye Coach Rita.
WHY AREN'T THESE EXPENSES INCLUDED IN OUR OPERATING BUDGET?
Operating funds are used to support salaries and benefits, transportation costs, utilities, textbooks, and other supplies. Operating funds are used for maintenance and upkeep; however, there is very little left for facility upgrades.
So proud of these girls!
Congrats Twilah Carrasquillo on being named to the Missouri Basketball Coaches Association All State Team!

HOW CAN WE DO THIS WITHOUT INCREASING TAXES?
Each year the District retires or pays off old debt from previous bond issues. As this debt is paid off, the existing levy can continue and the funds can be used to pay for bonds that are sold for new improvement projects.
We apologize, if your student rides bus 4 there has been a delay in pick up. We are trying to resolve the issue as soon as possible. If you need assistance contact the elementary or high school offices.
WHERE DOES THE MONEY COME FROM TO PAY FOR THE BONDS?
The District obtains bids and sells bonds to the buyer with the lowest interest rate. The District then pays back the debt over a period of years with tax dollars. This process is similar to a home loan.
Will the Bond Issue raise my taxes?
No. This is a NO TAX INCREASE Bond Issue, meaning voter approval will not increase the District's current debt service tax levy, which is dedicated to the repayment of bonds.

What is a Bond Issue?
A bond issue is a traditional way for schools to borrow money to pay for major school maintenance and repair projects, such as adding security measures or upgrading worn-out areas.
