When is the vote?

How are funds audited?

The election takes place on Tuesday, November 5th. You can vote in person at your local precinct or submit an absentee ballot.

All expenditures are subject to public annual audits and overseen by an independent, community-led financial advisory committee.

Is this a new tax?

What if it fails?

No. This is a replacement levy that maintains current funding levels without raising the school tax rate for district residents.

Failure would require immediate reductions in academic programs, extracurricular activities, student transportation, and essential classroom staff.
