52%
Equity & Student Experience
24%
Safety & Security
4%
Infrastructure Improvements
20%
Student Growth• New Elementary School #24 (900 student capacity)
• New Intermediate School #7 (1,200 student capacity)
• New Middle School #7 (1,200 student capacity)
All to be located in the southern area of the district on sites already owned by the district. Capacities are slightly larger than current campuses to accommodate projected growth in the south of the district and delay additional construction. Also allows for greater flexibility for schools of choice or future programs. Potential opening of 2020 for the new elementary, intermediate and middle schools.

fuel, supplies, etc.

Estimated Impact
• If approved, the estimated maximum tax impact of this bond is 3 cents for a total tax rate of $1.54.
• For a home valued at $200,000, this represents an increase of approximately $4.38 per month.
Home Value Estimated Monthly Tax Impact*
$200,000 $4.38
$250,000 $5.62
$300,000 $6.87
$350,000 $8.13
$400,000 $9.38
*Assumes $25,000 homestead exemption.
Estimated Impact• An increase of 3 cents is based on conservative assumptions.
Several things will affect the ultimate increase to the tax rate:• Schedule of bond sales (Not all bonds will be sold at once but rather to match
construction schedules.)
• Interest rate attained at time of bond sale (assuming current interest rates plus increasing percentages of over time)
• Growth in property values (assuming 6% growth in first year, and decreasing percentages over time. Preliminary reports suggest we will see higher growth.)
• Pay down of existing debt as well as future refunding opportunities
2011 Bond ImpactProjected in 2011
Actual
Bond Refundings• Mansfield ISD has been fiscally
responsible through the refunding of its bonds, saving taxpayers a total of approximately $63.1 million.
• Bond refunding allows the district to exchange its higher-interest debt for that of a lower rate.
• The savings were accrued through 11 different bond series since 2010.
Refunding Bond Series Total Debt Service Savings
Series 2010 $ 5,566,204
Series 2011 $ 107,459
Series 2012A $ 6,446,252
Series 2012B $ 6,105,307
