Efficiency and a Modest Tax Increase: Our Simple Request
The misconception that we aren't efficient, clarifying that we're achieving more with less. We've successfully reduced our debt service, allowing us to lower that tax rate by 5 cents. Now, we're asking the community to approve a 6-cent increase in our operations tax rate, which funds essential services like utilities, teacher salaries, and building maintenance. This results in a net increase of just one penny for taxpayers.
