BUILDING AND GROUNDS
A special 0.75 mill levy for Building and Site improvements is used to renovate, improve, and build facilities in the district. These projects have all been done on a “pay as you go” basis. No bonds or interest to be paid are required utilizing this method.

A total of over 350,000 miles are driven by our fleet each year.
