The district has compiled a list of answers to some frequently asked questions. Those FAQs can be found: https://www.raypec.org/o/rpsd/page/prop-rp-1-faqs
One question from those FAQs is this: Why does the ballot language reference an increase?
The answer is this: When the debt service levy transfer question appears on the ballot, the District is asking voters: Can we shift existing tax contributions from one levy to the other, without changing the overall tax rate? The April ballot reflects the District's intention to increase the operating tax levy by 50 cents over three years and decrease the debt service tax levy by the same amount over three years to accomplish no net impact on the overall tax levy.
We hope you will be able to take a look at the other FAQs to provide you with information about this election.
