Community Investment
Local levies are an essential revenue stream for our district and are approved by voters for a set number of years.
Local levies account for 15% of the overall budget.
In 2021, our community approved two levies, a programs & operations levy and a capital technology levy, which will expire at the end of 2024.
On Nov. 27, 2023, our school board adopted resolutions to put replacement levies on the February 13, 2024, ballot for the community for 2025, 2026, 2027, and 2028.
Our school district has long benefited from strong community support. That support has enabled us to build the district we have today. In addition to local levies, voters have also approved local bonds that have built the excellent schools and facilities we have in our district.
