Brief message to introduce topic and format (Q and A) <span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">II. QUESTION 1: NEED FOR SCHOOL BONDS <span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">A.

Research information on local school bonds <span style="color: black; font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">B. Get out to vote // **If a school bond package is on the ballot in your district this fall, consider some quick points:** // // **Why does my school district need to have a bond election?** // // School districts can only bring bond elections to the public for capital projects: construction, renovation, technology, and the purchase of large assets such as buses. The most common reasons for a bond election are to relieve over-crowding and to upgrade older facilities. Many of these initiatives cannot be funded any other way. School bonds can NOT be used to fund salary increases. // // **How will a school bond affect my property taxes?** // // Because bonds are interest-bearing, taxpayers are responsible for repaying interest on the bonds; however, debt from previous bonds is often restructured so that the new bond does not affect the current tax rate. In addition, the tax exemption afforded to homeowners 65 and older also extends to any bond taxes; the taxes for these homeowners will not change regardless of bond passage. // **Narration Script** <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Variety of school related video/still shots <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Line 1** (voice-over): //If// //a school bond package is on the ballot in your district this// <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">//fall,// <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Video tracking of person asking question 1. <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">**Question 1** (in-video): //Why does my school district need to have a bond// <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">//election?// <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">Video/Still shot tracking of over-crowded classroom, old facilities, portable buildings, etc. <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">//public for capital projects: such as construction, renovation, and technology.// <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">//The most common reasons for a bond election are to relieve over-crowding// <span style="font-family: arial,sans-serif; font-size: 15px;">//and to upgrade older facilities.
