How is the school district spending the Levy Dollars?
In August of
2017, the voters approved a three year levy, in the amount of two million
dollars per year. Due to new state legislation (Engrossed Housing Bill
2242), the levy will only collect the voter approved two million during the
2018 year and then will be reduced in 2019. The anticipated change will go from
$2.36/$1,000 of assessed value down to $1.50 per $1,000 of assessed value.
The district is
spending the levy funds in the ways shared during levy informational meeting
during the summer of 2017. Here are some of the specific areas we were
able to fund due to local support:
**Technology for
students: new computers, software licenses and other technology updates.
**Next
Generations Science Curriculum for elementary students.
**Extracurricular
activities for students.
**Field Trips
**New books and
resources for our school libraries.
**Supplies and
materials needed for teaching and learning are available for staff
and students.
**Schools,
buildings and grounds will continue to be maintained.
**Hi-cap and
special education students' services were supplemented beyond the state
allocation and additional class offerings for students.
Our students
deserve the benefits of a high quality education!
