These replacement levies are not new taxes - they replace four-year levies that were approved by voters in 2020 and expire at the end of 2024. 
  
 
LEVY for  LEARNING
 
 
 
What is a school levy?
A levy is a local property tax passed by voters that generates revenue for operations of a school district.
   
Why do we have a levy?
Our schools rely on levies to bridge the gap between state funding and the actual cost of operating our schools.
 
Replacement levies will allow our district to continue to maintain high educational standards and prepare students for success in a rapidly evolving world through access to staff, programs, technology, and course offerings.
 
The renewal of these four-year levies would provide the district with a predictable and consistent source of revenue, allowing for better long-term planning and improved educational outcomes.
 
Our schools rely on levies to bridge the gap between state funding and the actual cost of operating our schools. Your support will be a direct investment in the future of the community, as well as in the education and opportunities provided to our students!
