If the technology levy renewal is not approved prior to the 2010-2011 school year, the district’s technology budget will need to be reduced by about $3.1 million. Will property taxes increase if the levies are approved?
Renewal of the operating levy and the technology levy will not result in an annual increase in the school portion of property taxes for local residents. For example, the owner of a home with a taxable market value of $400,000 is currently paying $446 annually for the cost of the district’s three existing operating levies. If question #1 is approved, that amount would be revoked and replaced by the same amount resulting in no net change in school property taxes. For the technology levy, the owner of a $400,000 home currently pays $101 annually and would continue to pay the same amount with the proposed renewal.
