Frequently Asked Questions

What is the levy for?

The levy is an operating levy to fund a portion of the forecasted deficit at the end of the next school year. The school district already had to cut 5% of its expenses at the end of the last school year.

How much would this cost me?

For a house appraised at $100k by the county fiscal office, this would be approximately $17 a month before any applicable reductions. This levy is not continuous, only lasting for 5 years at which point would need to be approved again by the voters.

What happened?

Inaccurate financial forecasting led to a situation in which the district needs funds or will need to make drastic cuts to its expenses and potentially risk involvement by the state.
