Please vote Yes for the Riverview School District Transportation Vehicle Fund Levy. This two-year levy funds much needed new buses to support growing student enrollment and to replace existing buses that no longer adequately meet transportation needs. This levy will ensure that our students continue to travel to and from school in safe, up-to-date buses. The last transportation levy request was in 2010. Since then district enrollment has increased by 235 students, and enrollment is projected to increase by 1.5% per year for the next 10 years.
The Transportation Vehicle Fund Levy will generate enough revenue in two years, together with state reimbursement dollars, to keep the fleet up to date for a ten-year period. This two-year levy will raise $640,000 each year which, along with state reimbursement dollars, will provide the estimated $2,440,000 needed for the 20 new bus acquisitions over the next ten years.
Please mark and mail in your ballot today. Vote Yes for schools!
