๐ต FINANCIAL FRIDAY ๐ต
Itโs important to understand what youโll see on the ballot when you head into the voting booth.
By law, school districts can only purchase items approved by voters with bond funds. For the November 2023 bond, that means SISD can only use funds for school facilities or to purchase land.
The ballot will also include the required language, โThis is a property tax increase.โ This statement is required on all school bond elections.
