During the November election there will be lots of items to vote on beyond the president.  Miller Middle School bond will be one of those items, as the school has suggested a $57 million bond for improvements to be made at Miller.  They will also bond out $49 million against LOSST.  This project will include updates at Miller, Franklin Field, and adding Audio/Visual into every elementary school.

When reviewing the school districts levy for the last 15 years, in 2009 the levy was at $18.01.  It bottomed out in 2014 at $17.52 then eventually ballooned back to $18.34 in 2021.  Through Esser dollars and some other programs during COVID, the school district was able to make some fiscally responsible moves to begin lowering the levy every year since 2021.  The proposed levy for next school year is $15.99.

The school is now asking for an additional $1.28 through the Miller Middle School Bond, which means for the school district it would be a total of $16.27, which is lower than when the district bottomed out a decade ago.
