Mexico Public Schools has created a web page to help voters navigate some of the many questions they have concerning an upcoming bond issue.
In December the Mexico Public Schools approved ballot language for this upcoming April election where district patrons will also elect three new school board members. The web page is at “mexicoschools.net/2024_bond.”
The $21 million bond will not add anything to the district's debt service levy account which currently stands at $0.8691 per $100 of assessed valuation. The district could ask to borrow up to $27 million but that much of a bond would require an increase to the levy.
If approved, the $21 million bond will go towards several projects at all of the district’s buildings including a new turf field at the softball fields and tennis courts at the high school. One of the bond’s biggest projects will be a new security entrance at the high school that will move administrative offices to the front of the building. The current offices will be renovated into additional class space. Another big project will be new classrooms and kitchen renovations at the middle school.
For more information contact the district’s central office or look for upcoming informational events that will be posted. The election is Tuesday, April 2.
