Overview
Proposition 3 was approved November 7, 2023 with 66.3% of voters in the Rockwood School District supporting the measure. This allowed a restructuring of the district’s tax rate, transferring a portion of the debt service levy to the capital projects levy, with no change to the total tax rate.
Prop 3 achieves fiscal responsibility objectives in the district’s strategic plan by providing dedicated annual funding for safety, technology and facilities needs throughout the district. Annual funding allows proactive long-term planning with predictable resources and reduces reliance on bonds and interest payments.
