Wyoming Primary Schools Bond Levy on November Ballot

The 7.98 mill bond issue will raise $72.5 million for the construction of three new K-4 primary schools on the sites of the current primary schools. A 7.98 mill levy would normally increase taxes by $279.21 annually for each $100,000 of market home value.

• However, through the district’s strong fiscal stewardship, the current Wyoming High School bond levy is being paid off three years early, decreasing taxes by $117.60 annually for each $100,000 of market home value at the end of 2024 and removing 3.36 mills from the community’s residential taxes.

• The overall net impact on taxes with passage of the bond levy is an increase of $161.61 annually for each $100,000 of market value (4.62 mills). For example, if your home is valued at $400,000 on the Hamilton County Auditor’s Website, passage of the bond issue will add $646.68 annually to your tax bill, or $53.90 per month.

The Wyoming Primary Facilities Master Plan calls for each new school to include a secure entry vestibule; updated safety features; improved accessibility; larger classrooms; additional classrooms and space for gifted education, special education, and intervention; spaces for art and music; adequate gym space; and expanded kitchens and student dining areas.
