NOTES FROM THE SUPERINTENDENT . . .Patricia Parsons |
|
A 2-mill Levy Special Capital Improvements Tax Election will be held on Tuesday, February 2, 2010.
The 2-mill levy is a property tax of $2.00 per each $1,000.00 of net taxable value of the property. This will be the continuation of a tax currently in place. The election is a request to reauthorize collection of the 2-mill levy for school maintenance and technology for a six-year term. Again, passage continues the mill levy currently in effect and does not increase the tax rate. The mill levy was authorized by the Public School Capital Improvements Tax Act. It is often referred to by the bill’s number, SB-9. It was created to help schools fund maintenance and small construction projects, computers, and other technology needs without dipping into the operational funding needed for teachers and educational programs. Each year’s revenue from the mill levy goes directly to the school district. This is the only funding that is received for maintenance and smaller construction projects. Dexter Consolidated Schools currently receives around $125,000 per year from the mill levy (the number fluctuates slightly from year to year). If the 2 mill levy is in place, the district receives matching funds from the state. No New Taxes!
The polling location has been changed in Dexter to the Board Room in the Central Office at 100 North Lincoln in Dexter 7:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. Absentee and early voting will be done at the office of the County Clerk located at #1 St. Mary’s Place Suite #110. |
