Part of our #CometCulture calls on us to “Own the Moment” by doing the right thing, especially when it is hard. On March 17, 2020 Mason City Schools will be on the ballot with a critical operating levy. Mason has not received new operating levy funds in 15 years. The revenue we are asking voters for is needed to maintain the Mason Quality that exists today. If we fail, this will be the second consecutive levy failure in a decade and our quality and reputation will change.
During The November 19, 2019 school board meeting, Superintendent Jonathan Cooper made a critical recommendation to the Board of Education to place an operating levy on the March 17, 2020 ballot. The school board unanimously approved the resolution.
It has been 15 years since Mason City Schools voters passed an operating levy. This levy doesn’t add new people or programs. It keeps what we have. Watch Mr. Cooper share why Mason City Schools need a levy, and what’s at stake.
