SCHOOL DISTRICT QUESTION 1 (ISD #624)
APPROVAL OF SCHOOL DISTRICT CAPITAL PROJECT LEVY AUTHORIZATION
The board of Independent School District No. 624 (White Bear Lake Area Schools) has proposed a capital project levy authorization in the amount of 2.208% times the net tax capacity of the school district. A portion of this new authorization would replace the school district's existing authorization which is scheduled to expire after taxes payable in 2013. The proposed capital project levy authorization will raise approximately $1,374,419 for taxes payable in 2014, 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 $13,744,190. The money raised by the proposed capital project levy authorization will provide funds for the acquisition, installation and support of curriculum and improved technology and technology systems in various school district facilities and the purchase of intructional equipment that includes textbooks, library books, science equipment and large musical instruments. The projects to be funded have received a positive review and comment from the Commissioner of Education.
