Supplemental Levy Approved

With a 60% majority, the school district will have the authority to levy $14 million for each of the next two years. The revenue will be used to fund school district operations, including maintaining the current number of school days and retaining staff. In addition, patrons can anticipate that the combined bond, plant facility, and supplemental levy rates will decline next year from the current 0.004382573 to 0.004077233.
