Event Name:
Indianola Community School District Public Vote
Event Type(s):
Community Event
Description:
The state of Iowa allows districts to levy $0.135 per $1,000 of taxable valuation for a Public Educational and Recreational Levy (PERL). Funds from this levy may be used to establish and maintain public playgrounds, public recreation purposes and community education purposes.
Over the past 5 years, the district has spent an estimated $500,000 per elementary playground. Adding this levy allows the district to be more proactive in funding for future and ongoing playground needs and consider the expansion of community education services.
Although the vote is asking for an added levy rate, the district anticipates that the overall levy rate for the district will not increase, due to increased valuations and the district levying fewer cash reserve dollars. Preliminary budget calculations show that the school levy rate will drop by approximately $0.50 per thousand dollars taxable valuation, from $18.50 down to $17.99.
