We are a week away from Election Day! On the ballot, Brandywine Community Schools will have a Sinking Fund Renewal.
What is a Sinking Fund? A sinking fund for school is a dedicated savings account funded by a voter-approved local property tax (millage) that allows school districts to pay for large capital expenditures like construction, major repairs, technology upgrades, and security improvements.
The levied taxes cannot be used for general operating expenses.
