If approved, the levy is expected to generate about $66.3 million annually over five years, costing an estimated $122.50 per half-year tax bill.

Why it matters
The proposed tax levy directly addresses the district's operating budget, which leaders state is necessary to avoid eliminating existing programming. The levy is a 'last resort' measure to maintain current services for the school district.
