What’s Your Financial Impact?
Click the link for the tax impact calculator to find out. https://www.fillmorecentralbond.org/o/fillmorecentral2025bondinformation/page/financial-impact
*Ag land tax impact calculator is converting the assessed value that appears on your tax statement to LB2 valuation which is 50% of market, or full value and then multiplying times the bond levy.*
Formula: Assessed Ag Land Valuation / .72 (72%) X .50 (50%) X .0027 (bond levy) = Annual Tax Impact

Due to icy road conditions, the speech meet at David City and the JV basketball tournament at BDS have been cancelled.
It is anticipated that there will be operational efficiencies realized if the middle school and high school are all under one roof. A reduction in operational costs could include utilities, facility maintenance, transportation, elimination of duplicated services, and staff reduction through attrition. A feasibility study completed in 2021 and other projections indicate a conservative operational savings of $650,000 per year once the project is complete. This could result in a 5-cent reduction in the General Fund tax asking each year. This could also result in lowering the Special Building Fund levy.

Today, the Fillmore Central Career and Technical Education (CTE) teachers successfully hosted their annual Reality Fair, an engaging event designed to provide freshmen with a realistic perspective on financial management. Community members generously volunteered their time to assist students as they navigated various financial responsibilities, simulating the experience of "paying" bills that included daycare, auto insurance, and other essential expenses, all based on the projected salaries of their future careers.
To enhance the authenticity of the experience, students communicated their desired future careers, which determined their monthly net income for the exercise. In addition, some students were assigned spouses and children to further simulate real-life financial scenarios. Each participant encountered a random life event, such as receiving a $1,000 bonus, experiencing a car accident, or incurring an unexpected dental expense, thereby illustrating the unpredictability of financial planning.
At the conclusion of the event, professionals and teachers shared valuable life lessons and personal stories, aiming to equip students with insights that will aid in their future financial decision-making.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to the 18 community members whose contributions played a pivotal role in making this event a resounding success!
