Tuesdayrsquos May 6th election includes a Permanent Improvement RENEWAL Levy

Contrary to some rumors circulating the Board of Education is not asking for money

to bulldoze buildings and construct new schools This PI funding pays for property

assets or improvements with an estimated life or usefulness of five years or more

This is not to be confused with a bond issue Tuesdayrsquos ballot issue is to renew

the Permanent Improvement Levy that provides the district with critical funding for

expenses such as maintenance security upgrades curriculum updates and buses

This money cannot be used for salaries and benefits If you have questions please

call the board office This levy is for ZERO new taxes
