🏫🚌STATEMENT ABOUT NEW LIMA BOND ELECTION🚌🏫


We're sorry if the flier sent home yesterday seemed quick. The bond election was approved by the board on May 22, 2023. It was posted for bond transparency on the school website on May 24, 2023. A statement about it ran in the Seminole Producer on August 22, 2023 and on the front page of the Seminole Producer on August 23, 2023.


--Answers to Questions that Have Been Asked:

1. The buses will run approximately $150,000 each. The van is approximately $80,000. There are fees for running the bond and holding the election that are included in the costs as well.


2. The bond is for 5 years.


3. This is a transportation bond only. It is a true need bond with no frills. Since bonds are hard to come by at New Lima, we kept the expense as low as possible.


4. A Tax Impact Chart has been included that may help you understand how much of an impact this bond will have on your taxes. For example, if your taxes were $300 last year, they will increase by $40.50 cents for the year, which is $3.37 a month.
