What is an Operating Levy?
An operating levy provides local funding for day-to-day district expenses. In our case, this levy will fund critical areas that the state does not fully support: Transportation-maintain safe and reliable bus services; Technology-replace outdated student devices, support cybersecurity, ensure access; and Curriculum-purchase updated, standards-aligned learning materials.
