Gleaners today!
On the August 5 ballot, voters will be asked to decide on two proposals for Fitzgerald Public Schools. The first is a zero-tax-rate increase bond proposal to fund safety upgrades, educational enhancements, and facility improvements. The second proposal would replace and combine the district’s two current sinking funds, allowing for broader use of funds while slightly lowering the overall sinking fund tax rate.

Why replace two separate sinking funds with one?
1️⃣ Updated state laws allow sinking funds to be used for more, like buses, security upgrades, and technology.
2️⃣ Combining the two existing sinking funds into one would slightly reduce the overall sinking fund tax rate for residents (from 3.15 to 3.0 mills).
The sinking fund proposal enables the school district to better meet facility needs.
