On Tuesday, April 7, residents of the MVR-III School District will vote on a general obligation bond issue not to exceed $43 million. This measure will appear on the ballot as Proposition S.

Bond issues require voter approval of at least 57.14%. When approved, we will use the funds to make improvements at every school, enhance safety and security, and ensure our students continue having the learning environment our community expects.

Prop S will not raise property tax rates. Any increases in the amount of taxes paid would likely be the result of higher property valuations, not from an approved bond issue.

Wondering what the difference is between bonds and levies when it comes to school district finance and ballot issues?

👉 Bonds are for building and may include school additions, new buildings, as well as major renovations or repairs to existing facilities.

👉 Levies are for learning and may cover the salaries and benefits of faculty and staff, as well as textbooks, utilities, school and building supplies, food service, and transportation.

On Tuesday, April 7, voters will consider approving a no-tax-increase bond issue for the Meramec Valley R-III School District. You can learn more about the ways Prop S would invest in our schools and students at https://www.mvr3bond.org.

Our District receives federal Title funds to support our students with additional resources and reading specialists. In an effort to make our School-Wide Title I program the best it can be, we are asking parents to complete this brief survey. We appreciate your feedback on the impact of these programs and ways we can continue to improve. Thank you!

This measure WILL NOT raise property taxes when approved and will provide the funds for improvements at all of our campuses and the construction of a new middle school to replace Pacific Intermediate.

The proposal is the result of a multi-year effort by the Board of Education and the administration to identify solutions to our most pressing facility needs while not placing additional burden on property taxpayers.

PROPOSITION S: SAFE

SCHOOLS FOR A STRONG FUTURE

On Tuesday, April 7, 2026, residents of the Meramec Valley R-III School District will vote on a $43 million general obligation bond issue.

The proposed measure will appear on ballots as Proposition S. If it’s approved by at least 57.14% of voters, approximately $38 million of the bond’s total would be used to construct a new energy-efficient middle school with a storm shelter to replace Pacific Intermediate.
