Why a gym?
School finance is complicated! In 1994, voters approved Proposal A which outlines how we are taxed to fund schools. All tax payers pay 6 mills to the state to fund schools. Nonhomestead properties are assessed an additional 18 mills which stays local. If local districts don't collect those 18 mills, the state does not replace the revenue. Proposal A reduced the tax burden on both homestead and nonhomestead properties for school operations. Schools must ask voters for additional funds when large repairs, upgrades, or new buildings are needed. Our current proposals include 1) needed repairs// mechanical replacements and safety upgrades to our current building; 2) a new gym/multipurpose building to support student and community activities. Our current gym was designed to support elementary students. Please be informed and vote in the November 8 election.
Don't forget to come to the Family Fun Event at Up North Farm Market happening now, Saturday, 9/24, until 7pm!
