SCHOOL DISTRICT QUESTION 2 (ISD #836)
Approval of Capital Project Levy Authorization
If School District Question No. 1 is approved, the board of Independent School District
No. 836 (Butterfield-Odin Public Schools) has additionally proposed a project for the
purchase and lease of technology, including but not limited to copying machines,
telecommunications equipment, computers and related hardware, software, and annual
licensing fees, and the payment of certain operational costs, including but not limited to
personnel costs directly related to the operation and maintenance of telecommunications
systems, computers, related equipment, and network and applications software, and the
acquisition and replacement of school district vehicles, including vans and a tractor. To
provide funds for the project costs, the board has proposed a capital project levy
authorization, in the amount of 3.33% times the net tax capacity of the school district.
The proposed authorization would raise approximately $127,000 for taxes payable in
2021, the first year it is to be levied, and would be authorized for ten (10) years unless
earlier revoked or reduced as provided by law. The estimated cost of the projects to be
funded over that time period is approximately $1,190,783. As a result, the projects are
not required to receive a review and comment from the Commissioner of Education.
If School District Question No. 1 is approved, shall the capital project levy authorization
proposed by the board of Independent School District No. 836 (Butterfield-Odin Public
Schools) also be approved?

PROPERTY TAX INCREASE.
