Stephanie Moran, a Durango School District 9-R board member, hands balloons to Lucas Rennhack, 6, and Alyssa Kehn, during the kickoff party last week in Buckley Park for Ballot Measure 3A. The district is seeking a $1.7 million tax increase, which would amount to $40 additional property tax on a $400,000 home. If approved by voters it would be added to tax bills in 2017.
