Referendum 2016 vote!
An election ballot question that allows districts to generate additional education revenue.
Revenue is provided through a combination of local property tax levies, and state aid.
Referendum revenue may be used for any operating or capital expenses, the same as basic general education revenue.
Operating referendum property tax levies are spread on referendum market value (RMV).Slide2
Referendum Information
The school board is asking school district taxpayers to renew the current operating referendum with an increase. The school board has and continues to work on operating budgets for future years. Slide3
Referendum Information
For the past
few
years the enrollment at TAPS has decreased in grades K-12. The
enrollment in 2009-2010 was (811) and in 2015-2016 enrollment was (731).
The current trend indicates that
we
may
continue to slightly decline in enrollment for the next ten years. The school board has determined that these additional funds are needed for the school district to maintain current programming while continuing to offer advancements in technology and curriculum and, at the same time, keeping class sizes small.

Operating referendum continued
Referendum property taxes are not levied on:
1. Seasonal Recreation Property (cabins).
2. AG land and buildings (only house,
garage, and 1 acre).
Almost all other property in a district pays
the same tax per dollar of market value.Slide5

TAPS will receive revenue on the current referendum through June 30, 2018.

rd

4
. Raising the levy to $760 will result in an increase in state aid.
5
. Net Change is $189.41/student or $147,000/year.
6. Of the total increase around $98,000 is levy and $49,000 is state aid.
7. This will maximize the state aid. If TAPS did not increase to $760, the district would not be maximizing state aid.

on a $100,000 home would increase $36/year.
