School District Question 1 (ISD #77)
RENEWAL OF PORTION OF EXPIRING CAPITAL PROJECT LEVY AUTHORIZATION
The board of Independent School District No. 77 (Mankato Area Public Schools) has proposed a capital project levy authorization of .8889% times the net tax capacity of the school district. This authorization would renew a portion of the school district's existing authorization which is scheduled to expire after taxes payable in 2012. The money raised by this authorization will provide funds for the purchase and installation of software and technology equipment, the support and maintenance of technology and the training of staff in the use of technology. The proposed capital project levy authorization will raise approximately $500,000 for taxes payable in 2013, the first year it is to be levied, and would be authorized for seven years, beginning with taxes payable in 2013. The estimated total cost of the projects to be funded over that time period is approximately $3,500,000. The projects to be funded have received a positive review and comment from the Commissioner of Education.
Shall the capital project levy authorization proposed by the board of Independent School District No. 77 be approved?
