TPS is hoping voters pass a levy and a bond issue this November

The $99 million in improvement bonds would be used for constructing, adding to, renovating, rehabilitating, remodeling, furnishing, equipping and improving school district buildings and facilities, and clearing, equipping, and otherwise improving sites for those School District buildings and facilities. The bond would be repaid annually over a maximum 30 years. The cost to a homeowner would be $71 for each $100,000 in property value.
