If the voted Physical Plant & Equipment Levy (PPEL) is approved this November, the district would focus on:

▶️ Making improvements and 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 interactive panels throughout our schools
▶️ Providing telehealth mental health supports for students
▶️ Reducing our dependence on capital campaigns for needed improvements

Moving forward with a voted PPEL rate of $1.34 would result 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.
