Passage of Proposition No. 1 would allow the levy of $40,700,000 in property taxes within Auburn School District No. 408 for collection in 2017, the levy of $43,000,000 for collection in 2018, the levy of $45,400,000 for collection in 2019, and the levy of $47,750,000 for collection in 2020. Passage would fund educational programs, including staffing for career and technical education, gifted/honors education, regular education, special education and English language learner programs; educational operations, including school supplies, textbooks, library books and teacher training; all athletics and activities; maintenance and custodial, including utilities, building maintenance, grounds maintenance and printing; and transportation for athletics, activities and special education. In accordance with Resolution No. 1211 approving this proposition, these taxes would be collected over four years and used for the district educational program and operations to replace the expiring levy. If authorized by the voters, and based on projected assessed valuation information, estimated levy rates per $1,000 of assessed value would be $4.13 (2017 collection); $4.23 (2018 collection); $4.34 (2019 collection); $4.43 (2020 collection). The exact levy rate shall be adjusted based upon the actual assessed value of the property within the District at the time of the levy.
