Local option levy up for renewal May 19 at same rate, Penrod says
Summary
Penrod told the committee the district's local option levy is on the May 19 ballot for a five-year renewal at the same rate (52 cents per $1,000 assessed value); she reminded members levy funds are typically used for staffing and programs, not capital improvements.
Superintendent Susan Penrod told the budget committee the district's local option levy is scheduled for renewal on the May 19 ballot as a five-year renewal at the same 52 cents per $1,000 assessed value rate. "Our local option levy is up for renewal, on the May 19 ballot, and it's always a 5 year renewal," she said.
Penrod emphasized the district has not changed the levy rate despite assessed-value growth and clarified that local option levies are most commonly used to fund programs and staffing rather than capital projects. She urged committee members and community members to review the budget binder and the levy materials in advance of the ballot decision.
