The bond issue is proposed to fund safety and security improvements; updates and renovations to athletic/activity facilities; classroom technology and network upgrades; purchase new school buses, improve the energy efficiency of facilities; and pay off existing lease obligations for school bus purchases and energy efficiency projects. Passage of the bond issue would not increase the district’s debt service tax rate, which is used solely to fund construction and major repair and improvement projects in the district. A four-sevenths super-majority (57.14%) is required for approval of the bond issue.<br><br/></br></p> <p><span style="color: #046ef6; font-size: 18pt;"><strong>What will the zero-tax-rate-change bond issue pay for?</strong></span></p> <p>Funds from the zero-tax-rate-change bond issue will support the following priorities determined through the budget committee process and input from the Board of Education:</p> <ul> <li>improving security and safety throughout the District</li> <li>upgrading playgrounds and athletic/recreational activity facilities</li> <li>improving the energy efficiency of District facilities</li> <li>purchasing new buses</li> <li>classroom technology and network upgrades</li> <li>pay off existing lease obligations of the District<br><strong>&nbsp;</strong></br></li> </ul> <p><span style="color: #046ef6; font-size: 18pt;"><strong>What is a zero-tax-rate-change bond issue?</strong></span></p> <p>A zero-tax-rate-change bond issue is a traditional way for schools to borrow money to pay for capital projects that are too costly for a typical budget.&nbsp; In Missouri, this requires voter approval even if the bond issue will not raise the tax rate. It works much like a home equity loan, where a homeowner who pays down his or her debt can spend up to his or her credit limit again for new projects without paying more in his or her monthly loan payment.<br><strong>&nbsp;</strong></br></p> <p><span style="color: #046ef6; font-size: 18pt;"><strong>How can we complete these projects without raising taxes?</strong></span></p> <p>Bonds are low-interest loans the district pays back using funds from its debt service levy. Funds from the debt service levy cannot be used to pay for salaries, classroom supplies or other routine, budgeted items that support teaching and learning in the classroom. Hazelwood can borrow up to $130 million in bond funds without raising the debt service levy used to repay the financing. With the new bond issue, Hazelwood is able to complete the projects in a new facilities plan using the same existing levy.<br><strong>&nbsp;</strong></br></p> <p><span style="font-size: 18pt; color: #046ef6;"><strong>Can we use the money that would pay off bonds for things like salaries or day-to-day expenses?</strong></span></p> <p>No, state law only allows debt service revenue to be used for the repayment of principal and interest on general obligation bonds.<br><strong>&nbsp;</strong></br></p> <p><span style="color: #046ef6; font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Why do we need a bond issue?</strong></span></p> <p>Without the passage of the Zero-Tax-Rate-Change Bond issue, it will take the district several years, if not decades, to piece together the renovations and improvements that are needed.&nbsp; The district will do its best to continue to complete small individual projects as funding allows, but major projects have been deferred for several years in order to balance the budget.&nbsp; Now it is critical that we plan for the future while updating aging buildings and provide safe and modern facilities for all of our students, parents and staff.&nbsp;<br><strong>&nbsp;</strong></br></p> <p><span style="color: #046ef6; font-size: 18pt;"><strong>When will work be done? Isn’t the construction market difficult right now?</strong></span></p> <p>The district’s goal will be to complete the projects in a timely manner and allow for the most efficient use of the bond funds.&nbsp; Given the scope of the projects, it may take 2-3 years for all projects to be completed.&nbsp; Knowing this, the district will work with architects and construction experts to schedule work at the most opportune times and with the least disruption possible to students and staff, all while striving for the best cost possible for projects.<br><strong>&nbsp;</strong></br></p> <p><span style="color: #046ef6; font-size: 18pt;"><strong>How did the district identify the projects proposed to be completed?</strong></span></p> <p>The district has utilized a budget committee approach in the development of the budget for the last several years.&nbsp; Through this process, several potential projects that appear on the current priority list were submitted as options for consideration. &nbsp;</p> <p>In addition, in 2019-20 the district commissioned an asset sustainability/facilities master plan study to conduct a needs assessment of all district facilities in order to develop a plan for addressing capital project needs as well as potential financial strategies. The district is utilizing the resulting data to identify building renovations noted in the current priority list, including HVAC (Heating Ventilation Air Conditioning), plumbing, electrical/wiring, parking lots and sidewalk renovations/replacement, and building shell and interior projects.&nbsp;</p> <p>Finally, the Board of Education has provided input through several discussions regarding potential bond issue projects that encompass the above items and noted the need to include projects that directly impact and benefit students, such as safety and security, playgrounds and athletic/recreational activity facility renovations, and classroom technology and network updates.<br><strong>&nbsp;</strong></br></p> <p><span style="color: #046ef6; font-size: 18pt;"><strong>Are additions and improvements already designed?</strong></span></p> <p>No, the district will conduct a Request for Proposal (RFP) to select potential architects for the projects.&nbsp; The actual design does not occur until after a bond issue is passed. The goal now is to make sure appropriate budgets are established.
