This is a tax swap, which means the tax rate will remain the same at $5.50 if the referendum passes or fails. If the questions fail, the district won’t be able to use funds in the most efficient way. The tax rate will be the same because the district will need to take out new working cash bonds and continue to use variable rate funds to cover operating expenses.
