Student Growth• New Elementary School #24 (900 student capacity)

• New Intermediate School #7 (1,200 student capacity)

• New Middle School #7 (1,200 student capacity)

All to be located in the southern area of the district on sites already owned by the district. Capacities are slightly larger than current campuses to accommodate projected growth in the south of the district and delay additional construction. Also allows for greater flexibility for schools of choice or future programs. Potential opening of 2020 for the new elementary, intermediate and middle schools.

• Athletic programs have outgrown our existing facilities with increased program participation. • 3,307 students participating in at least one athletic

program in grades 9-12 (30.3% of high school students)

• Currently, several athletic programs do not have designated locker room space, and training and weight rooms are undersized for today’s program enrollment, limiting access and causing scheduling issues.

locker rooms, weight room, training and team room at each comprehensive high school• Create needed capacity in existing buildings

and be utilized by all athletic programs• Includes a shelled-in second story for future

OverviewSchool taxes involve two figures:

Approximately 85 percent of the district’s M&O budget goes to

teacher and staff salaries.

I&S funds cannot by law be used to pay M&O expenses.

Interest & Sinking (I&S)

Used for debt repayment; bond elections only

affect this rate.

Maintenance & Operations (M&O)

Daily operations: teacher salaries, electricity,

fuel, supplies, etc.

Estimated Impact

• If approved, the estimated maximum tax impact of this bond is 3 cents for a total tax rate of $1.54.

• For a home valued at $200,000, this represents an increase of approximately $4.38 per month.

Home Value Estimated Monthly Tax Impact*

$200,000 $4.38

$250,000 $5.62

$300,000 $6.87

$350,000 $8.13

$400,000 $9.38

*Assumes $25,000 homestead exemption.

Estimated Impact• An increase of 3 cents is based on conservative assumptions.

Several things will affect the ultimate increase to the tax rate:• Schedule of bond sales (Not all bonds will be sold at once but rather to match

construction schedules.)

• Interest rate attained at time of bond sale (assuming current interest rates plus increasing percentages of over time)

• Growth in property values (assuming 6% growth in first year, and decreasing percentages over time. Preliminary reports suggest we will see higher growth.)

• Pay down of existing debt as well as future refunding opportunities

2011 Bond ImpactProjected in 2011

Actual

Bond Refundings• Mansfield ISD has been fiscally

responsible through the refunding of its bonds, saving taxpayers a total of approximately $63.1 million.

• Bond refunding allows the district to exchange its higher-interest debt for that of a lower rate.

• The savings were accrued through 11 different bond series since 2010.

Refunding Bond Series Total Debt Service Savings

Series 2010 $ 5,566,204

Series 2011 $ 107,459

Series 2012A $ 6,446,252

Series 2012B $ 6,105,307

TOTAL SAVINGS $ 63,091,278

Homeowners Age 65 & Over• Mansfield ISD property taxes for citizens age 65 or older would

not be affected by the bond election.• Under state law, the dollar amount of school taxes imposed on

the residence homestead of a person 65 years of age or older cannot be increased above the amount paid in the first year after the person turned 65 unless significant improvements are made to the home.• Over 65 Homestead Exemption Application must be filed with
