School Borrowing
11 measures
A school borrowing question authorizes a district to issue bonds for buildings and grounds, repaid from property taxes over years. Most of these questions print three figures: the principal, the maximum repayment cost including interest, and the yearly ceiling on the tax that repays it. Colorado Springs School District 11's 4A is the largest, at $775 million of debt, up to $1.48 billion to repay and up to $49.8 million a year in taxes. Three extend a bond tax voters approved years ago instead of adding a new one: West Grand 5A extends taxes approved in 2006, Garfield RE-2 4B extends its 2006 tax at not more than $9.2 million a year, and Buffalo RE-4J 5A extends taxes approved in 2007. Bennett 5A, Colorado Springs 11 4A and Cheyenne Mountain 4B raise the tax. Archuleta 50JT 5A takes effect only if the district receives a state Building Excellent Schools Today grant. Garfield School District RE-2 asks both a bond and a tax question: 4B borrows up to $118 million, and 4A raises operating taxes.
