Amarillo officials detail that current debt stands at 3 128 000 and bonds could raise total school indebtedness to 6 128 000 if voters approve. The 7 percent ratio of bonded debt to assessed real estate values guides decisions, with repayment roughly 2 567 000 over ten years. Even without valuation growth, 2 500 000 could fund new schools, while preservation of the 7 percent rule allows potential expansion.
