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.
