This levy replaces one that expires at the end of 2014. This levy pays for school staff, education programs, classroom support, athletics, maintenance, utilities, transportation and school supplies that are not funded or are under-funded by the state. The levy represents about 20 percent of the school district’s general fund, which pays for day-to-day operations.
If this replacement levy is approved, taxable property within the district would continue to be taxed to pay for school programs and operations over the next four years, with the estimated rate to be $3.69 per year for each thousand dollars of assessed property value. This levy would generate funding in the amount of $16,336,987 in the first year, $16,990,466 in the second year, $17,670,085 in the third year and $18,376,888 in the fourth year.
