Hello, my name is _________ and I'm calling for Ivan Moore Research, an Anchorage public opinion research firm. We are conducting a public opinion survey about some important issues. The survey should take no more than a few minutes, and we'd really appreciate your input if that's OK with you.

	COUNT	%

Very likely	209	27.9%

The next few questions concern various options for school bonds that may be on the ballot in the April 2002 Municipal Election. The Anchorage School District has identified a list of school renovation and construction projects that partially address the current needs of the District. I would like to describe each of these bonds to you now, and ask you how you think you'd vote on them.

The first bond I'd like you to consider is for $44 million. This bond would provide $32 million for districtwide maintenance, including building renewal, roof repairs and replacement, electrical and mechanical upgrades, maintenance equipment and traffic upgrades. It also includes funds for code upgrades at the King Career Center, districtwide sprinkler upgrades, public sewer service for Birchwood Elementary and Chugiak High School, and funds for 10 replacement school buses.

Passing this $44 million bond would result in an increase in your annual property taxes of approximately $22 for twenty years for every $100,000 of assessed property value.

Another possible bond on the ballot is for $52 million. This bond would provide funds for school design for Bartlett High School and Polaris K12, design and construction funding for Ptarmigan Elementary and for Chugiak, Dimond, East and Service High Schools, and construction funding for Wendler Middle School. The high school and middle school projects on this bond are continuations of phased projects.

Passing this $52 million bond would result in an increase in your annual property taxes of approximately $26 for twenty years for every $100,000 of assessed property value.
