Bloomfield School District 2019 2-Mill Levy Election
Bloomfield has an excellent school system made up of outstanding faculty, a wonderful student body and a very supportive school community that values high-quality education and programs.
Voting this Fall This fall, registered voters who live in the Bloomfield School District will be asked to vote on the Public School Capital Improvements Act, SB-9. A “yes” vote will reauthorize the current 2 -Mill Levy that has been in place since 2013.
The Public School Capital Improvements Act The Public School Capital Improvements Act allows school districts to ask local voters to approve a property levy of up to two mills for a maximum of six years.
The Public School Capital Improvements Act (continued) One mill is a property tax that equals $1 for every $1,000 of your property’s assessed net taxable value (usually a third of the full residential property value). Two mills is $2 for every $1,000 in net taxable value. Bloomfield Schools are requesting a 2-Mill Levy.
Why These Funds Are Needed High-quality, well-maintained and safe schools are an absolute necessity for every community. They are important not just to children and their families – they are central to the health of a community because they help drive economic development and maintain or increase property values.
