The following shall be the ballot title of the measure to be submitted to the district’s voters on this date. CAPTION: Morrow County School District Three-Year Local Op tion Serial Levy QUESTION: Shall Morrow County Dis trict levy $1 per $1000 as sessed value each year for three years beginning 2009-10 for classroom education? This measure may cause property taxes to increase more than 3 percent. SUMMARY: This measure authorizes the School district to levy a property tax in the amount of $560,000 each year for three years beginning with the fiscal year of 2009-10. The funding would offset declining rev enues from state funding. The School District will use the funds received to pay for expenses related to edu cational programs such as to buy materials and textbooks, to maintain the current level of programs, and to maintain class sizes at levels consid ered appropriate for proper education. The estimated tax impact of this measure is an average of $1.00 per thousand dollars of assessed value. It is impor tant to note that a typical home market valued at $100,000 would have an assessed value of $70,000 in Morrow Coun ty. For example, it is estimat ed that if this measure passes, the ow ner of a $ 100.000 home would pay approximately $70 per year for three years only. The estimated tax costs for this measure is an ESTIMATE ONLY based upon the best in formation available from the county assessor at the time of the estimate.
