      ❓ What is the difference between a bond issue and a tax levy?

      A BOND ISSUE is used to generate funds for maintaining or improving district facilities, or for equipment/technology. A TAX LEVY is a tax rate on property and is primarily used to generate operating funds for day-to-day expenses. Unless otherwise designated, a tax levy is permanent.

      ❓ What happened to the funds that were saved with the close of schools in 2021?

      The District reallocated savings realized from closed schools to new support positions and services as promised. The District hired more nurses, counselors, tutors, social workers, custodians and created new academic opportunities through electives and Advanced Placement (AP) courses.

    • ❓ What is the difference between operating funds and capital funds?

      ❓ What is the difference between operating funds and capital funds?

      OPERATING FUNDS are unrestricted and may be used for, as examples, employee salaries and benefits, supplies and materials and routine custodial and utilities costs.

      CAPITAL FUNDS (PROP S) are used for the purchase of buildings and equipment, erection of buildings, renovation of existing buildings and the purchase of capital equipment items such as computers (and other technology items).

    • ❓ Why is the Saint Louis Public Schools submitting a bond issue to voters?

      ❓ Why is the Saint Louis Public Schools submitting a bond issue to voters?

      Thanks to a successful bond issue in 2010, a great many improvements and upgrades were made district wide. However, given the age of our schools and all major systems in each, it is important that we move forward with a new plan and a more expansive list of projects.

      Comments (-1)
    • ❓ What more can you tell me about the projects included in the Bond Issue?

      ❓ What more can you tell me about the projects included in the Bond Issue?

      Prop S will provide funding for many district-wide projects. For the most part these renovations mirror the same type of renovations that all of the district’s homeowners have experienced. Click on the question for more information.

    • ❓ What percentage of votes is needed to pass the bond issue?

      ❓ What percentage of votes is needed to pass the bond issue?

      Prop S requires a four-sevenths (or 57.14%) “YES” vote in order to pass on August 2, 2022.

      In 1988, Missouri voters approved an amendment to Article XI, 26(b) of the Missouri Constitution stating that “…the vote required shall be four-sevenths at the general municipal election day, primary or general elections and two-thirds at all other elections.” The August 2022 election is a general municipal election.

    • ❓ How much will my taxes increase if this measure passes?

      ❓ How much will my taxes increase if this measure passes?

      Proposition S is a NO-TAX-RATE increase bond issue, which means residents will not pay more in taxes due to this measure. A NO-TAX-RATE increase bond issue is an agreement to keep taxes at or below the current rate.

    • ❓ What if I do not have children in the Saint Louis Public Schools?

      ❓ What if I do not have children in the Saint Louis Public Schools?

      If passed, the scope of work provided by PROP S would help support property values. In addition, the completed projects are in line with improvements that are ongoing across our communities.

    • ❓ If Prop S passes, will the District lose their ESSER funds?

      ❓ If Prop S passes, will the District lose their ESSER funds?

      No, the two are not connected. ESSER funds are one-time funds from the American Rescue Plan and they are to be used for pandemic recovery. We need to significantly improve our facilities and that is why a bond issue is needed. Bond issues are how school districts raise money for renovations, repairs and construction.

      ❓ How can I help/support Prop S?
