On your ballot
2. Shall the City of CONORD - Ward limit property tax growth for CONORD SCHOOL DISTRICT (SAU #8) AND MERRIMACK VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT (SAU #46) under RSA 32:5-i? If adopted for a two-year period: (1) the local property tax levy may not grow beyond the prior year's amount, adjusted for inflation and new construction; (2) SAU central office spending may not exceed 6% of total school district appropriations; and (3) bonded capital costs are excluded from both limits. These caps apply only to administrative operations of the SAU central office and do not affect classroom instruction, school-based services, or other municipal expenditures.
These limits may be overridden as provided in RSA 32:5-i. Adoption requires a three-fifths (3/5) majority vote.*
What a yes vote means
A "yes" vote supports limiting property tax growth for the Concord School District and Merrimack Valley School District to no more than the prior year's amount or 6% of total school district appropriations, whichever is lower, for two years. The measure would exclude bonded capital costs from these limits.
