GOLDEN — Jefferson County voters will be asked to approve a $350 million bond issue for school construction and improvements and a mill- levy override to produce $32 million for operations.
On Thursday, the Jefferson County Board of Education approved putting both questions on the Nov. 4 ballot.
The bond issue would not increase a property owner’s taxes because the state’s largest school district is retiring older debt, district officials say.
The mill-levy override would require a property owner to pay about $3 a month for every $100,000 of a home’s assessed value.
Without the override, district officials say they will make $32 million in cuts over three years beginning in 2009.
