About

A circular badge-style logo for 'Proposition 1' featuring bold purple and gold colors. The center showcases a large gold number '1' on a white background. Around the circle, the words 'ACCESSIBILITY,' 'OPPORTUNITY,' and 'ACHIEVEMENT' are written in purple with gold stars separating them. The date 'APR. 8 2025' is displayed in gold on a white ribbon across the middle. The outer ring of the badge is outlined in purple, with 'PROPOSITION' written in bold, uppercase purple letters at the top, flanked by gold stars on each side.

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 will 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.
