On behalf of YCS, I want to clarify the statement that the new bond would cost $6.57 per 1000. Current school tax includes state tax, local levy, and 2003 bond which is $8.04. There are changes in state funding (McCleary Decision) that will lower the state and local levy rates. In 2020 the total tax rate with the projected new bond rate would be $6.97 which is $1.07 less than property owners pay now. That rate will decline further as the 2003 bond is paid off in 2022.
In partnership with local agencies and community resources, the district will host four community nights focused on safety topics. Community agencies and organizations will be available to share resources and a panel of experts will present to attendees. Vendor event opens at 5:30pm and panel begins at 6:00pm. Must be present to win door prizes provided by local businesses.
