It details proposed increases of 40 cents education rate, 12.5 cents building fund, and 8 cents transportation fund, totaling 60.5 cents per $100 EAV, though immediate need may be shorter.
Proposals For Progress explains why Unit 186 needs higher taxes to cover transportation and building costs. It argues $25 000 to $30 000 yearly for transport and $43 700 for building costs drain the education fund and that a building tax increase could add $30 000. The text notes staff losses and urges voters to vote yes on Saturday.
