With all the growth, isn’t the district collecting additional money already?
The District is collecting more money from new developments, but has to pay for the costs associated with having more students. The district has grown by over 5,000 students since 1988. When adjusted for inflation, the taxes collected per student have decreased by 20 percent. In addition, resources, such as Land Cash and Impact Fees collected from developers, can only be used for buildings and not for ongoing operating costs.
