Superintendent proposes $1.1 million per year school levy on May 19 ballot
Summary
Superintendent Gary Thomas presented a proposed two‑year levy of $1.1 million per year to fund a school resource officer, staff wages, nurse and mental‑health positions and technology; he said taxpayers would pay about $81.50 per $100,000 of property value only if facility funds are not received.
Superintendent Gary Thomas presented the school district's proposed levy to the City Council, saying, "The levy is for $1.1 million dollars per year for two years." The funds are designated for a school resource officer, classified staff wages, extracurricular programs, nurse and mental‑health positions, and technology.
Thomas explained the levy should have no direct cost to taxpayers if facility funds are received; if those funds are not obtained, taxpayers could expect approximately $81.50 per $100,000 of assessed property value. The matter was provided as information to inform voters before the May 19 primary ballot.
