SUPPLEMENTAL LEVY 2021 INFORMATION

• Last year’s levy amount—$1,750,000.
• This year’s levy amount—$1,650,000.
• This year’s Supplemental Levy amount had been reduced by $100,000 in order to provide tax relief and savings to our stakeholders.  In a year where the pandemic has taxed us all, we hope that this will provide our taxpayers with a small financial benefit.
• As always, there continues to be maintenance projects that need to be addressed.  We can’t get to all of them, nor can we afford the cost of doing all of them in a single year.  However, the supplemental levy will allow us the opportunity to address and pay for a few of the prioritized projects.
• Reminder—this Supplemental Levy funds the District’s daily operations.  Included in this is:
  • Staff salaries & benefits.
  • Supplies and materials.
  • Food Service programs.
  • Utilities
  • Transportation programs.
  • Building projects.
  • And much, much more.

What’s New for District Projects This Year?

           Along with the usual costs associated with what our levy provides—funding for utility costs,  classroom supplies & materials, and staff salaries and benefits—this year’s supplemental monies will assist towards the following projects:

• Junior-Senior High Gym Heating System            $120,000
• Paving of Elementary Parking & Entrance Area     $40,000
