Puxico voters will decide on a Puxico School no tax increase bond issue on April 5, 2022.

The Puxico School District is seeking to borrow $1,000,000 with the passing of the bond.

The funds will be used to make essential repairs such as lights at the ball fields, sealant of the parking lots, maintenance to locker room facilities, and other high-use student areas.

It is expected to have this bond issue paid off in approximately three years.

The ballot language for the bond issue reads as follows:

Shall the Board of Education of the Puxico R-VIII School District, Missouri, without an estimated increase in the current debt service property tax levy, borrow money in the amount of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) for the purpose of providing funds to complete essential repairs and maintenance on the existing elementary buildings; to tuck point and seal brick at the high school and other campus buildings; to replace electrical components and heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) units as needed; to repair roofs; to the extent funds are available, complete other repairs and improvements to the existing facilities of the District; and issue general obligation bonds for the payment thereof? If this proposition is approved, the adjusted debt service levy of the School District is estimated to remain unchanged at $0.7900 per one hundred dollars of assessed valuation of real and personal property.
