The Business and Professional Men Listed Below T'
Support and Endorse the School Board’s
Plan for a New O’Neill Public High School
Important Facts on the O'Neill School Bond Election:
1. What is the amount of the proposed Bond Issue?
The amount is $465,OCX).
2. What tax levy will be necessary to pay for this Bond Issue?
Based on the 1960 School District assessed valuation of
$4,727,332.00, it will require an approximate annual tax levy
of 7.25 mills to pay for this bond issue over a 20 year period.
3. Is this a good time to issue bonds?
The financial consultant for our district has advised us that the
7Va mill levy is on the high side and that interest costs are
more favorable now than at any time during the past several
months.
4. What is FREE HIGH SCHOOL TUITION?
Students who live in another school district but attend the O'
Neill school must pay tuition to the School District of the City
of O'Neill. The tuition money paid to O Neill comes from a
county levy on all property NOT in a high school district.
5. How much does the O'Neill School District receive in "Free
High School Tuition"?
In the 1959-60 school year, the O'Neill school district received
$34,000 in tuition money.
6. If the O'Neill school district did not receive this tuition money,
what levy would be necessary to raise this lost revenue now
used to operate our school?
It would require a 7Va mill levy to replace this revenue loss of
$34,000.
7. If we do not provide a complete curriculum for all students
and the proper facilities, do we stand to lose the free high
school tuition students? When?
Yes. Students not living in the O'Neill School District (No. 7)
will have to go to school elsewhere starting in 1964.
8. How much would 7Va mills for the bond tax levy cost me?
If Actual Property ’Assessed Value Bond Bond Tax Bond Tax
Value is: is approx. Levy Per Monti Per Vesr
$ 1,500 $ 525 .00725 $ .32 $ 3.80
2.500 875 .00725 .53 6.34
5,000 1,750 .00725 1.06 12.69
7.500 2,625 .00725 1.59 19.03
10.000 3,500 .00725 2.12 25.38
15.000 5,250 .00725 3.17 38.06
• Assessed value is approximately S5% of actual value.
9. In other words, we in the O'Neill School District are going to
pay 7Va mills one way or the other—either for a new build
ing or to replace lost revenue from free high school tuition
students.
Yes. And the loss of these students and their families will
have an impact on the City of O'Neill financially as a trade and
service community.
10. How does our 1959-60 school mill levy compare with other
districts in our area?
Below is a list of other school districts in our area showing
their valuations and school tax levies:
