    Question 1: Operating Levy

    Ballot Questions

    The operating levy will increase spending by $476 per student providing long-term budget stability.

    It will allow the district to avoid further budget cuts next year and support growth of successful programs.

    Increase the current operating levy by $476 per student

    (Passage of this question is the highest priority.)

    Support students first:
    • Provide long-term budget stability and avoid further budget cuts next year. 
       

    • Support continued growth of successful programs.

    “My fellow members of the Strategic Planning Committee and I helped determine a number of ‘Bold Steps’ for the district. We agreed on the need for a long-term facilities plan that would address student requirements for the foreseeable future. This spring, we formed a Facilities Task Force that helped identify operational and maintenance needs. Together we—your fellow parents and community members— asked the school board to consider this referendum.”
