Santa Fe Public Schools Mill Levy Passes

District will get $12.7 million per year until 2018

By SFR

Just under 5 percent of registered voters in the Santa Fe Public Schools district turned out yesterday to approve property tax-based funding for school construction, repair and infrastructure.

According to the Albuquerque Journal, 2,893 voters voted for the 2-mill levy, and 951 voted against it. The funding will not result in increased property tax levels, and some of the money will go to charter schools.

SFPS Superintendent Bobbie Gutierrez posted this thank-you message on the district's website this morning:
