Here are five facts:

▶ The cost of operating schools is rising faster than funding growth, creating a projected $75 million funding gap over the next 10 years.
▶ Missouri’s Hancock Amendment requires Parkway to roll back its tax rate. In addition, due to the senior tax freeze, Parkway is projected to lose ~$30 million in projected funding over the next decade.
▶ The district made reductions while minimizing the impact on students and classrooms.
▶ Prop P would provide funding for teachers and staff, school safety, classroom resources, and student programs and services. If approved, the estimated increase for a $400,000 home is approximately $7/week.
▶ This is the first time in 20 years that Parkway has placed an operating tax increase on the ballot. Even with Prop P, Parkway’s tax rate would remain lower than it was in 2016.

No excuse, in-person absentee voting is now open.

Voters will decide on Proposition P, the district’s proposed 46-cent operating tax levy. For the owner of a $400,000 home, the estimated increase would be approximately $7 a week.

Parkway has not asked for an operating tax increase in 20 years, and our tax rate remains among the lowest operating tax rates of all St. Louis County school districts.

PROP P: We know how proud the community is of our schools, teachers, and students. Generations of successful graduates have come through Parkway in the past 70-plus years.

Today, the cost of operating a school district continues to rise, and we face a growing gap between expenses and funding. Over the past two years, we’ve reduced our budget by $15.4 million and met with residents from across the district to ask how we should respond to this long-term financial challenge.

Proposition P on the November ballot would provide stable funding for teachers and staff, student programs, safety, and classroom resources.

We want to make sure you have all of the information you need to make a decision by November 3, so we encourage you to learn more about Prop P at parkwayschools.net.
