CENTENNIAL FORWARD: Two questions on the ballot
Centennial’s official referendum notice with ballot language and tax information arrived in homes last week. As you review it, here are answers to two questions about the needs behind the proposals.
Special Election
Question 1 FAQ: How do inflation and unfunded requirements affect the operating budget?
Historically, state funding for schools has not kept pace with inflation. When funding grows more slowly than costs, school dollars purchase less. Requirements that do not come with enough funding to cover their costs also put pressure on the operating budget. These pressures help explain why Centennial is proposing an operating levy to maintain teachers, programs, student services and reasonable class sizes.
Question 2 FAQ: Why can’t existing maintenance funds cover the proposed improvements?
Existing resources support ongoing maintenance, but they cannot cover the full scale of the major repairs, replacements and renovations identified through long-range planning. Question 2 would provide funding for those proposed facility improvements..
Voters will decide each question separately on November 3.
