RESOLVED, That there shall be raised an additional $929,800 for General Funds in the 2016-2017 School Year.

Approval of these taxes will result in a permanent increase in the District’s tax levy.
The additional taxes authorized herein will be used exclusively for purposes described herein and to finance expenditures that are in addition to those necessary to achieve the Core Curriculum Content Standards.
Vote NO to the enhanced babysitting tax!
The must be kidding with this. No.
NO! This just keeps on going like the energizer bunny, does it ever stop?

NO. If the board believes this is the best educational approach, they should fit it within the current budget. Figure out what to cut, what programs have less educational value?
Heck no
