Information about the District

 

On behalf of the board of education, administration, staff and the students, we would like to thank all of the individuals that supported the August 3, 2010 levy.  While the end result was not what the District had hoped for, the dedication of the individuals and groups that were involved in promoting the levy can not go unrecognized. 

The 5.9 mill additional operating levy will be back on the ballot in November.  Over the next weeks and months the Board of Education will need to analyze every aspect of the district's operation and some very hard decisions will need to be made if the levy does not pass in November.  If the levy does not pass in November, the district will not receive any new monies in 2011 and consequently, cuts will have to be made for the 2011 - 12 school year.

The District will remain committed to providing its students the best possible educational opportunity with the resources the community is willing to provide.  Again, thank you for your support. 

 

Originally the Board had presented a two tier program to the community asking for 5.9 mills this year and 2.9 mills in 2011, to maintain the existing levels of programs and/or services to the students. With the failure of the levy on May 4, 2010, the Board of Education has made some difficult decisions.

 

At the May 18, 2010, meeting the Board of Education made the decision that $1.2 million in revenue enhancements, expenditure reductions, and budget cuts would be implemented and reported in the five year forecast.  The result of the above action being reflected in the five year forecast means the district will still need to pass a 5.9 mill, 10 year operating levy in 2010 in order to avoid a deficit for the 2011 – 12 school year. Consequently, the Board has placed the 5.9 mill operating levy on the August 3, 2010 ballot.  For more information about the levy, click here.

 

However, in exchange for the $1.2 million in revenue enhancements, expenditure reductions and budget cuts, the Board of Education will NOT request the 2.9 mill additional operating levy in 2011.  Therefore the revenue enhancements, expenditure reductions and budget cuts are permanent even if the operating levy passes.

 

At the June 22, 2010, meeting the Board of Education finalized all of the revenue enhancements, expenditure reductions, and budget cuts.  To view the actions, click here.

 

Also, at the June 22, 2010 meeting the Board of Education finalized Pay to Participate. For Information about Pay to Participate, click here.
