The equalized property value for the district totals $302,569,352 and represents a .96% decrease over last year when the equalized property value was $305,493,403. The total levy of $3,525,980, less computer aid of $4,111, results in a net levy of $3,521,869. This represents an overall levy reduction of 5.12% from last year's levy of $3,711,745. As a result, the mill rate for this year, upon certification, will be 11.64 and represents a 4.2% decrease over last year's mill rate of 12.15. The $.51 decrease in mill rate is a greater decrease than the 11.68 mill rate projected at the time of the referendum.
