Some information about the upcoming levy. Im encouraged as I drive through our town and see the signs in our yards. If all the parents, grandparents, and alumni are able to support this, we may actually have a chance at passing it! Come on Falcons, our kids are missing out on bussing, field trips, and too many other things to mention. PLEASE support our children when you cast your ballot. I know our taxes are high but these kids are the future of our community and investing in their education now is important. Please, please support our kids!! ISSUE # 5: 7.3 Mill Operating Renewal ◾Generates $2,608,011.00 annually, for 5 years. ◾NOT a new tax- this renewal has been in effect since 1991. ◾This issue had been renewed each time for the 23 years. ◾If this renewal fails, the district will be completely insolvent by the end of the 2015-2016 school year. Our school will be in fiscal emergency- the district will have to rely on state loans that must be repaid. ◾Passing this renewal issue should keep the district financially solvent through June of 2017. ◾Since this is a renewal, the Homestead and Rollback reduction (discounts towards your property taxes) will continue to apply. ISSUE # 6: 1 Mill Permanent Improvement Levy ◾ This levy will generate $370,931.00 annually. ◾ Levy monies can only be used for upkeep and improvements for our district. ◾ The money generated by this levy cannot be used for salaries. ◾ All money must be used for physical items with a five year plus life span. ◾Examples: ◾Busses ◾Textbooks ◾Technology ◾HVAC systems ◾Parking lots ◾Maintenance of facilities, etc. ◾ This is a continuing levy For more information: fieldlevycommittee@gmail
