Proposition 1

#OneAffton: One Family. One Community. Zero Tax Rate Increase.

Voters Approve Zero-Tax-Rate-Increase Bond for Building Improvements for Affton School District

On April 8, voters in Affton approved a zero tax rate increase bond, Proposition 1, providing $30 million in funding for essential safety, accessibility, and educational improvements across the district.

Vote totals were:
Yes - 2,438 (79.23%)

"On behalf of our students, staff, Board of Education, and the entire Affton team, I want to thank our community for your trust and support,” said Dr. Travis Bracht, superintendent. “This vote shows how much our community values safe, accessible, and modern learning environments—not just for today’s students, but for generations to come."

THANK YOU, AFFTON!

Our Affton facilities represent a $400 million investment by our community.

Our commitment to protecting this investment in our schools is to keep them up-to-date and in quality working condition.


On Jan. 21, the Affton School District Board of Education approved a zero-tax-rate-increase bond to be placed on the April 8 ballot. If approved, Proposition 1 would provide $30 million in funding for essential safety, accessibility, and educational improvements across the district.

Over the years, Affton School District has shown responsible financial management:

  • The board was able to roll back the tax rate to save taxpayer dollars.

  • The district saved enough to be able to take most of the cost of the facility master plan out of its reserves.

  • The district has bonding capacity to complete the facility master plan with no tax rate increase required.

Tax Impact: There will be zero tax rate increase with Proposition 1.

Building for the Future

For many years, providing high quality schools has been a source of Affton pride. Our schools are the backbone of our community. That is why Affton is a destination district for those moving to our area.

To ensure each student in each Affton School District has access to modern learning spaces that meet their needs, our district developed a facilities master plan. Each school building would receive needed updates, according to the facilities master plan.
