The annual debt millage required to retire all bonds of the School District currently outstanding and proposed pursuant to this Proposal is expected to remain at or below the annual debt millage of 3.80 mills levied in 2019. The maximum number of years any series of bonds may be outstanding, exclusive of refunding, is not more than twenty (20) years; the estimated millage that will be levied to pay the proposed bonds in the first year is 0.47 mills (which is equal to $0.47 per $1,000 of taxable value); and the estimated simple average annual millage that will be required to retire each series of bonds is 1.24 mills annually ($1.24 per $1,000 of taxable value).
