FAQs

1.  How much will this levy cost me?

For every $100,000 in property value, you would pay just $74 per year.  Because past bonds are ending, this new levy is actually estimated to cost less than what we have already been paying.

2.  Will I have new taxes if this is passed?

No. This levy will replace two bonds that are expiring and will NOT raise your taxes. It is a 5-year levy not exceeding 2.1 mills for each $1 of taxable value.

A property valued at $150,000, this homeowner will pay LESS next year if the proposed levy is passed compared to what they paid this year.

3.  Why does the ballot say it's an "additional tax" levy?

Per state statute, there are two bonds expiring and this levy will replace those bonds. Because it is replacing the bonds, it is technically an additional tax, but homeowners will pay LESS with the new levy than the current ones.

4.  How much money will this raise for the school district?

The 2.1 mill levy will bring in approximately $487,000 annually.

5.  What will this money be used for?

These dollars will address major needs like roof repairs, HVAC systems, parking lots, and even the track.  It will also make sure our classrooms have the technology students need to prepare for the future. This is a smart, responsible investment in our schools, ensuring that funds go directly toward critical infrastructure and technology.

This levy is not about new spending — it is about maintaining what we already have and protecting taxpayer investments. By planning ahead and keeping our facilities in good working order, we avoid higher costs down the road.

Strong schools are the heart of a strong community.  Safe, well-maintained buildings and up-to-date technology benefit everyone — from the children learning inside the classrooms to the families and property owners who rely on strong schools to keep our community thriving.
