Levy Facts: The proposed levy rates for collection years 2026-2029 are
strategically redistributed to better support district needs without increasing
the overall tax rate.
In 2021, voters passed a 4-year EP&O levy and a 4-year Capital Levy,
both of which expire in December 2025. Voters passed an estimated rate
of $0.99 for the EP&O levy and an estimated rate of $0.15 for the capital
levy, for a combined total estimated levy rate of $1.14.
If the replacement levies pass in February 2025, the dollars will be
redistributed due to the new proposed rates for each levy. The combined
total estimated levy rate would stay at $1.14.
