SCHOOL DISTRICT QUESTION 1 (ISD #281)
Approval of Renewed Capital Project Levy Authorization
The School Board of Independent School District No. 281 (Robbinsdale Area Schools) has proposed the renewal of an existing capital project levy authorization expiring after taxes payable in 2024, in the maximum amount of 4.207% times the net tax capacity of the school district. The money raised by this authorization will continue to provide funds to increase technology access for students and staff through the acquisition, installation, replacement, support, and maintenance of software, applications, digital curriculum and resources, one to one devices, improved technology, technology systems, networks, and infrastructure, and will also provide funds for capital improvements for safety and security, including cameras, and safety-related building modifications. The proposed tax rate is not being increased from the previous year's rate. The proposed renewal of the expiring capital project levy authorization will raise approximately $6,995,074 for taxes payable in 2025, the first year it is to be levied, and would be authorized for ten (10) years. The estimated total cost of the projects to be funded over that time period is approximately $69,950,740. The projects to be funded have received a positive review and comment from the Commissioner of Education. Shall the renewal of the expiring capital project levy authorization proposed by the school board of Independent School District No. 281 (Robbinsdale Area Schools) be approved?
