In 2024, Morenci Area Schools levied 7.96 mills for current bonds/debt. If the 2025 bond proposal is approved by voters, the district expects the 2025 debt millage rate to remain the same, resulting in a ZERO MILL NET INCREASE to the debt millage rate compared to the prior year. The debt payoff for this bond is expected to be less than 30 years.
