School Bond - Planned Major Maintenance
- Five schools throughout the borough, dozens of improvements
- Energy conservation projects equal future utility cost reductions
- Major maintenance of public schools means longer life of these important public assets
- Cost savings means more of the district's operating budget can be spent directly on students
- This school bond is eligible or 70% state reimbursement, meaning local taxpayers would pay only 30% ($3.6 million) of the total $11.95 million cost plus interest
- Approximate amount due in annual taxes on a $100,000 house after state reimbursement = $4.13
