SCHOOL DISTRICT QUESTION 1 (ISD #2149)
Renewal of Expiring Capital Project Levy Authorization for Technology
The school board of Independent School District No. 2149 (Minnewaska Area Schools) has proposed a capital project levy authorization of 1.429% times the net tax capacity of the school district. This authorization would renew the school district's existing authorization which is scheduled to expire after taxes payable in 2024. The additional revenue from the proposed capital levy authorization will be used to provide funds for school district technology, including the acquisition, installation, replacement, support and maintenance of software, software licenses, computers, improved technology equipment, technology systems related to security and operations, digital curriculum, and to pay the costs of technology related personnel and training. The proposed capital project levy authorization will raise approximately $380,315 for taxes payable in 2025, the first year it is to be levied, and would be authorized for ten years. The estimated total cost of the projects to be funded over that time period is approximately $3,803,147. Shall the capital project levy authorization proposed by the school board of Independent School District No. 2149 be approved?
