Why replace two separate sinking funds with one?
1️⃣ Updated state laws allow sinking funds to be used for more, like buses, security upgrades, and technology.
2️⃣ Combining the two existing sinking funds into one would slightly reduce the overall sinking fund tax rate for residents (from 3.15 to 3.0 mills).
The sinking fund proposal enables the school district to better meet facility needs.
