You forget that the NR district won’t borrow all the $92.8 million in one gulp. They will borrow the money as needed during the design and building phase. This will occur over four years. Once the full borrowing is in place, you are right.
So, what your saying is that it will more than DOUBLE at a minimum in 4 years.
Watch it Chris, before Bob says you’re OFF TOPIC! Just don’t ask him how he’s going to vote in the referendum.
Yes, Chris, it will double by 2016 which includes the 3.0%/yr budget increase. With automatic increases using the QEO which pushes labor costs up to 4.2%/yr, this puts a strain on the school board to raise budget revenue to the full limit of 3.0% unless programs and staff are cut.
If there is no growth in construction and enrollment, the mill rate will be 2.5 times what it is today.
Bob, It looks as if the local New Richmond socialist has the exact comeback as I want. So I’ll quote him from the New Richmond News(Link).
