This look right for a 20 year term with semi annual payments at 3%? 18 million in interest.
So a 52.2 million levy would really cost close to 70 million? Ouch!

You guys need some diversity from the outside world. Most of our board members are ranchers. Get yourself on that board Mo! And the other part of the story is, our local newspaper editors husband is a teacher. So the school gets all the free skewed press they want through front page stories and the LTE posts. They wont post the truth when a letter is sent in from the Vote NO crowd. So we have to pay for ads when we want our voice heard. These are some of the biggest scum bags one small town could have. But old buckchaser will go down swinging if he has too! And they other-other part of the story is, the school board has been telling all the idiots in this town that they will get free state or federal money to help pay the bond! And these Dumb Fucking Morons in this town actually think the money is free! How fucking dumb can someone be?

There are other avenues; local radio, start a Facebook page (these are much more successful than I ever thought they would be), mail your own flyers, town meetings, posters in gas stations and restaurants, yard signs, etc... The paper has censored "opinion" letters? Might be some sort of action that can be taken there, sounds illegal to me. I have no idea what your situation is. For all I know your district might actually need a new building and you just don't want more taxes (fact is I've never set foot in the building so I have no idea of it's condition). What I do know is that it's public education for the taxpayers children, and the taxpayer's should have a fair shake on what kind of education their kids are getting. It doesn't sound like the community is part of the system there.

And these Dumb Fucking Morons in this town actually think the money is free! How fucking dumb can someone be? State matching is an important factor. Your district tax payers will pay for everything but the % the state matches. Everybody in the state will pay for what the state does match. So lets say you get a $50mil bond and the state pays 50%. The district tax payers will foot $25mil of the bill and the state population will foot the other $25mil. The difference is in the population. If your state has 25 million people in it then it will increase taxes $1/person. Your district will have a lot less people in it so taxes go up a lot more per person to pay for that $25mil local. Of course there are a lot of districts in a state that are being funded by the state so your state taxes go to paying for everyone one else's upgrades. This is an oversimplification but does it make sense? A lot of people don't understand that State matching is still tax payer's money, it's just watered down over a larger population so it doesn't "hurt" as much.

A number of years ago at a neighborhood party a distant neighbor lady was complaining about schools not having enough money. This is a quote "all you have to do is fill out the right government forms and you can get the money you need". Hard to believe but this was a teacher.

I have built and remodeled many schools. There is nothing wrong with this school if they would just keep up on the updating! Our enrollment has gone down in the past 10 years by 25%. From 2100 students a year in school to around 1600. We now pay around $200,000 to graduate a student from just the school budget, and now they want to add even more money to the tax payers demise!
