When you vote in this election cycle, you will see a tax question on your ballot to reauthorize a 2 MILL Levy for Central Consolidated Public School Capital Improvements (2 MILL). This measure is a reauthorization of an existing bond that is set to expire. Voting yes on this measure WILL NOT increase your property taxes and will continue to enrich the education of our children by maintaining schools, classrooms, and school grounds.
