In plain language
A VoterDecoder summary of the official measure text.
This question asks voters in the Dawson-Boyd school district to revoke the district's existing referendum revenue authorization of $460 per pupil and replace it with a new one of $1,300 per pupil, rising each year with inflation. Referendum revenue is extra general operating money that voters approve for the district. It comes from a local property tax and, in some districts, partly from state aid. The new amount would first be levied in 2026, payable in 2027, for ten years unless revoked or reduced as provided by law. A YES vote makes the replacement. A NO vote means the existing authorization is not replaced. The ballot notes that a YES vote is a vote for a property tax increase.
Fiscal impact
A new $1,300 per pupil replaces $460 per pupil. It rises with inflation. It starts with taxes payable in 2027 and lasts 10 years.
