The success of this millage means a 21st century student entering Little Rock’s public schools, today, will have the opportunity to experience a 21st century, world class education.
It’s one of those rare times in history where everyone is on the same page. I am beyond excited about what all the city will be able to offer so many of our kids, who are our future. There is no better time for a ‘yes’ than now.
The Little Rock Education Association recognizes the importance of the environment in which students learn. This millage extension is an important step in ensuring that the Little Rock School District continues to provide the best learning environment for students and staff, without raising taxes for the citizens of Little Rock.
For the first time in decades, really, things are looking up a little for the Little Rock public schools. But as much as fine new facilities, public schools in Little Rock need the positive spirit of celebration.

The proposal would extend the district’s debt service mills for 19 years, which would allow the district to restructure bond issues to raise approximately $300 million for school construction and critical repairs.
With NO INCREASE to property tax rates, district schools (facilities) will be improved.
While the tax rate remains the same, without approval, the schools will not receive improvements and/or expansions.
$0. A YES vote means LRSD can access $300 million dollars for school construction and repairs without raising a single cent in taxes.
Restructure is used to mean the same thing as refinancing, or revising, bonds in order to save the District money in the long run. The money saved will be restructured, or reallocated, to fund infrastructure projects related to facilities improvements.
