Consider opening an account through Arbor Bank, with a current interest rate of 3.15%. Through this account, Arbor Bank will match 10% of the interest earned on this account each calendar quarter. $348.19 has been donated to Riverside since March of this year. Growing this program means growing that donation!

If our community approves the Physical Plant & Equipment Levy (PPEL) November 4, the district would use these funds for:

➡️ Making projected repairs in line with our 2024 facility study
➡️ Purchasing buses to update and maintain our fleet
➡️ Rotating our Chromebooks for students/ staff to ensure we keep devices up to date
➡️ Adding more educational technology throughout our schools
➡️ Providing telehealth mental health supports for students

The voted PPEL would have a rate of $1.34, resulting in an increase of approximately $120.61 per year (or $10.05 per month) on a residential home with an assessed value of $200,000 in our community.
