Vote Yes on this bill if you want to allow local voters to approve up to a 1% sales and use tax dedicated to school construction and renovation, exempting food and essential hygiene items, with strict use rules and an automatic sunset or bond payoff.

Organizations that support this bill may include school boards and divisions, parent-teacher associations, education advocacy groups, local governing bodies, and building and construction trades groups.

Vote No on this bill if you want to avoid any local sales tax increase and require school facilities to be funded from existing revenues or alternative sources.

Organizations that oppose this bill may include taxpayer and anti-tax organizations, retail and hospitality associations wary of higher checkout costs, and some low-income advocacy groups concerned about regressive taxes.
