The Aurora Public Schools Board of Education approved placing 2024 Bond and Capital Mill Levy measures (5A and 5B) on the November ballot during its Aug. 6, 2024 meeting. These measures mean a no net tax increase for Aurora voters and will fund many critical new buildings, building improvements and programming opportunities for our community.
The 2024 Bond Program is a proposed $1 billion investment aimed at improving and enhancing school facilities, infrastructure and technology across APS. It focuses on creating safe, equitable and innovative learning environments for students and staff.
The Capital Mill Levy is a proposed $30 million annual tax levy dedicated to funding ongoing capital expenses such as building maintenance and smaller-scale improvements within APS. By allocating these critical capital expense dollars, this will free up general fund dollars for other crucial needs including increasing teacher salaries, mental health resources and educational programs.
To inform voters about what the 2024 Bond Program will fund, we are pleased to share our interactive map, which allows you to explore Destination APS. The map showcases our unique school offerings as well as the many improvements and enhancements that schools will receive.
