SENDING NORTH BUSES HOME (3/15/23). Highways are closing again, so we will be sending the Ashton Elementary & North Fremont buses home early. Buses will line up around 12:30 at Ashton Elem and 12:40 at NF. Parents are welcome to pick up their students AFTER the buses have left. Please do not block the buses!
As many of you are aware the power is out here at the high school. The phones are not working as a result of that. We will plan on keeping the students until our normal release time of 3:30 PM, and then, sending them on the buses as usual.
SCHOOL BOND ELECTION TODAY! It is election day. Patrons have the opportunity to vote on the proposed bond to update Ashton Elementary, South Fremont High School, and North Fremont JH/HS. Please take the opportunity to exercise your Constitutional right to vote.
SCHOOL BOND ELECTION. Tomorrow is election day. Patrons have the opportunity to vote on the proposed bond to update Ashton Elementary, South Fremont High School, and North Fremont JH/HS. See the District website for full details or call the District Office (208-624-7542).
UPDATED BOND INFORMATION. During the community information meetings on the bond proposal, patrons asked the school district to post the updated municipal bond interest rates just prior to the bond election on March 14. Zion's Public Finance, Inc. sent an updated graph showing the interest rate trends for the past year from March 1, 2022 through March 7, 2023. They also included a slide showing a comparison between the interest rates from January (3.73%) and March 8 (3.83%). It shows how the change in rates would impact the overall tax impact per $100,000 of taxable value. This slide also shows the impact should the interest rate be 1% higher or 1% lower. As a reminder, the final interest rate if the bond is approved in March would not be locked in until the end of May.
Thank you to all who have reached out to ask questions and learn more. These new slides and all other official information regarding the bond can be found on the district website (https://www.sd215.net/o/sd215/page/2023-bond-election). If you have any additional questions, please contact one of the Board members or the District Office.
