 Half-Cent
Extension
The
School District of Volusia is asking voters to consider an extension
of the half-cent, which would go into effect when the current
half-cent sales tax sunsets on December 31, 2016.
Why extend the
half-cent sales tax?
·
Every school and every student
will benefit (see
Capital Projects List).
·
This half-cent extension will be used for
security, technology and facility issues – all necessary to ensure
our students’ success by providing a safe and secure learning
environment with 21st century tools.
·
A quality educational system is of major
importance to businesses and economic development in Volusia County.
·
The school district has kept its promise on the
use of the 2001 voter approved half-cent sales tax by completing the
majority of identified school construction and renovation projects.
·
Tourists will pay 30-40% of tax revenue (entire
amount will not be paid by residents).
·
Taxpayers will continue to
pay the same half-cent sales tax; it is not new nor an increase.
Important
information to know:
·
The half-cent voter approved sales tax can
only be used for capital (facilities, technology), not
general operating (salaries, instructional materials).
·
As with the 2001 half-cent sales tax, a
citizens’ project oversight committee will be established to monitor
the school district’s work.
·
The extension will raise an estimated $480
million
·
If approved, this extension will go into effect
on January 1, 2017 for a 15-year term.
·
Vote on August 26, 2014.
