School District Question 1 (ISD #278)
RENEWAL OF EXPIRING CAPITAL PROJECT LEVY AUTHORIZATION
The board of Independent School District No. 278 (Orono Public Schools) has also proposed a capital project levy authorization of 2.539% times the net tax capacity of the school district. This authorization would renew the school district's existing authorization which is scheduled to expire after taxes payable in 2012. The money raised by this authorization will provide funds for the acquisition, installation and support of curriculum and improved technology and technology systems in various school district facilities and the purchase of instructional equipment. The proposed capital project levy authorization will raise approximately $896,000 for taxes payable in 2013, the first year it is to be levied, and would be authorized for ten years, beginning with taxes payable in 2013. The estimated total cost of the projects to be funded over that time period is approximately $8,960,000. The projects to be funded have received a positive review and comment from the Commissioner of Education. Shall the capital project levy authorization proposed by the board of Independent School District No. 278 be approved?
BY VOTING "YES" ON THIS BALLOT QUESTION, YOU ARE VOTING TO RENEW AN EXISTING CAPITAL PROJECTS REFERENDUM THAT IS SCHEDULED TO EXPIRE.
