Why Now? Since the 1999 facility improvement referendum, Arrowhead's basic building, site, and technology infrastructure has aged and become significantly outdated. During the last 12 years, Arrowhead has completed $16.4 million in capital projects from its operating budget, for an average of $1.4 million per year. As the district's funding from state and federal sources decreases, Arrowhead cannot continue to pay for the increasing number of necessary infrastructure improvements without directly impacting the budget allocated to instructional programs and services for students.
Referendum Includes:
*This referendum maintains the $0.25 per $1,000 of property value paid for the 1999 referendum debt for five more years.
