FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE FROM THE ANIMAS HIGH SCHOOL BOARD OF DIRECTORS
Dear Animas High School Families and Supporters,
As election day approaches, we would like to clarify a point about Durango 9R’s ballot initiative 3A, as we have received many inquiries about the initiative. Ballot initiative 3A proposes to increase property taxes to provide 9R schools with additional funding.
The 3A ballot language and marketing materials are unclear about whether or not Animas High School, as a local public school, will benefit from the revenues generated by the initiative. Animas High School will not benefit from the increased revenue from 3A, only Durango 9R schools will benefit.
Animas High School is a proponent of educational choice and supports excellence in education. We encourage you to seek out information about the mill levy and to understand 9R’s specific plans for the use of their funds. Then, make your voting decision based on what you believe is best for your family and the community. You will find information about the Durango 9R initiative at: www.IDEASDurango.org
Please contact us with any questions at Board@AnimasHighSchool.com
Respectfully,
Animas High School Board of Directors
