The levy for the district’s debt service fund will drop $9.8 million, or nearly 54 percent over
the current year as funds borrowed for school construction are paid off. Vargas explained
that the decrease in the debt service levy allows the district to increase the alternative facility levy and the lease levy without increasing taxes.
The community service levy is down 3 percent and the OPEB debt service levy is down a
quarter of a percent.
The district will now submit the preliminary levy to the county auditors for use in preparing tax statements for property owners.
