Mountain View School District board OKs one-year $805,000 levy for May 19 ballot
Summary
The Mountain View School District board voted to place a one-year, $805,000 supplemental levy on the May 19 ballot after staff corrected assessor data that changed the per-$100,000 rate; the board also approved outreach plans including town halls ahead of the vote.
The Mountain View School District board voted to send a one-year supplemental levy request for $805,000 to voters, with the election date listed on the ballot as May 19.
"I'm gonna make a motion that we run a 1 year supplemental levy for $805,000 with the corrected value Per 100,000," Committee member (S4) said before the board approved the motion by voice vote. The motion was seconded and the chair called for the ayes, which passed by voice.
Board members and staff said the ballot will reflect corrected assessment figures and that the levy replaces an existing levy that ends on June 30. Staff (S3) told trustees the corrected per-$100,000 rate is $83.67 and that the board chose the option to underline key text on the ballot so voters understand the replacement and the decrease from the prior levy.
Trustees directed staff to organize public outreach, including town halls in April, to explain how the levy dollars would be used and to answer questions about staffing and student needs before the May 19 election.
The vote was a voice vote recorded on the meeting record; the transcript does not list individual roll-call votes or a numerical tally.
