KENT CITY SCHOOLS “No New Tax” Bond Issue

Why a “No New Tax” Bond Issue? Bonds issued over 20 years ago to construct Stanton Middle School and renovate Roosevelt High School and Davey Elementary School are maturing. Kent Schools is taking advantage of this opportunity for our district and community to make needed improvements to all of our schools at no new cost to the taxpayer. This $25 -million bond issue would NOT raise taxes for our homeowners.

Community Feedback for 2019 -2024 Strategic Plan ● We asked the community for input and our Kent residents were clear: ● Immediate necessity is to keep our students safe and maintain the community’s investment in our schools.

COMMUNITY SURVEY RESULTS 41% Prefer renovation over new 31% 13% 15%

● This 2. 36 -mill bond issue will NOT increase taxes. ● It will yield $25, 190, 000 to make needed safety and facility improvements in the schools. ● The new bonds will be financed over a maximum 30 -year term. How Much will a “No New Tax” Bond Issue Raise?

Bond Issue Tax Cost to Homeowners On a $100, 000 homeowners will continue to pay $82. 59 a year.
