🚨 Attention Hobbs Eagle Community: The 2- & 4-Mill Levy election is Nov 4th.
Both will be on the ballot for consideration.
⭐How HMS pays for things like core school facilities, maintenance, vehicles, and classroom technology , plus larger-scale technology infrastructure and facility projects for safety & security — the important things that keeps our students safe and the schools running smoothly every day is through Mill Levy funds.
👉If you’re not sure what these levies will mean for YOUR property tax bill:
If both SB9 & HB33 pass, you’ll see NO INCREASE in your tax bill because the levies will continue as an existing tax. Maintaining the existing rate of 2 Mill and 4 Mill would generate an average of $13 million per year
A Home valued at $100,000 would see the same rate of $198 per year $16.67 per month 56¢ per day!
👉What do these funds cover?
Mill levy monies are a major contributor to keeping students current in an ever-changing digital world. Thanks to past mill levy funds, our schools and classrooms are equipped with up-to-date computers and audio visual equipment which allow them to take advantage of online video and digital curriculum. Our district also benefits from online grade books and software programs which help students build skills at every grade level. But technology isn’t limited to the classroom. It also is essential for security systems, phone systems, heating and cooling systems, cafeteria operations and much more.
⭐Both 2 & 4 Mill Levies combined give HMS the funds needed for the district to ensure the excellent upkeep of facilities and important tangibles for students and staff.
💡 Important to know: By New Mexico State Statute, Mill Levy funds cannot be used for teacher salaries. They are only for educational facilities, technology, and other tangible needs that directly impact students and classrooms.
🗳️Your voice matters...so please make a plan to vote!
Early voting ends Nov. 1 st. and Election Day is Nov. 4th.
