On Aug. 25, the DCSD Board of Education voted to place a Mill Levy Override (MLO) option for taxpayers on the November ballot.
In this episode of the DCSD Notebook Podcast, Superintendent Erin Kane explains why district staff recommended the MLO, how DCSD measures transparency and return on investment, and the areas where additional funding could support students and schools, including:
• Attracting and retaining high-quality teachers and staff
• Supporting the increasing costs of school security
• Reducing waitlists for Career and Technical Education programs, including the trades
• Restoring student programming, such as elementary instrumental music
Listen to the episode to learn more about the proposal and the district’s perspective on its potential impact.
