Warrior Community, We Need Your Help Understanding Proposition C.A.R.E.

As we look toward the future of Winfield R-IV, the Board of Education has voted to place Proposition C.A.R.E. (Community Action Reinvesting in Education) on the August 4, 2026 ballot.

First and most importantly:

✅ This is a ZERO-TAX-RATE-INCREASE proposal.
✅ Your total tax rate will remain exactly the same.
✅ No new taxes. No tax increase.

So what is Proposition C.A.R.E.?

Think of our school finances as having two separate buckets:

📚 Operating Fund – Pays for the day-to-day needs of our schools, including teacher and staff salaries, classroom materials, technology, utilities, and routine maintenance.

🏫 Debt Service Fund – Pays for voter-approved construction bonds and major facility projects.

Thanks to responsible financial management and paying down debt ahead of schedule, our district is in a position to reduce the amount needed in the Debt Service Fund. At the same time, rising costs for educational programs, utilities, supplies, and competitive salaries have placed increasing pressure on our Operating Fund, which is currently at Missouri’s minimum allowable rate.

Proposition C.A.R.E. simply transfers $.25 from one fund to the other:

➡️ Operating Fund: $2.75 → $3.00
⬅️ Debt Service Fund: $1.5755 → $1.3255

Total Tax Rate: $4.3255 (No Change)

If approved, this transfer will allow Winfield R-IV to reinvest in what matters most:

✔️ Recruiting and retaining outstanding teachers and staff
✔️ Supporting student learning and classroom resources
✔️ Maintaining safe, secure, and effective learning environments
✔️ Meeting rising operational costs without increasing the overall tax rate

Over the coming weeks, we'll continue sharing information and answering questions so every voter can make an informed decision before Election Day on August 4, 2026.

Thank you for your continued support of our students, staff, and schools. Together, we remain committed to building a stronger future for every Winfield Warrior.
