Get a closer look at Question 1: What is a Capital Projects Levy?
A capital projects levy is a local property tax specifically authorized by voters for a set term. The funds generated can only be used for major capital expenses, such as:
-Transportation: Replacement of aging school buses and vans to maintain a safe and efficient fleet
-Technology: Staff and student devices, network upgrade, and instructional software
-Curriculum: Updated educational materials
This is separate from the district’s operating budget, which covers day-to-day costs like teacher salaries, classroom supplies, and utilities. By having a dedicated levy, the district can address these essential needs without redirecting funds from its general operations.
