Levy ballots on the way
By KEVAN MOORE and raise $6,786,000 and in materials; teacher train-
Ballots for a Shelton
School District replacement
levy are set to go out this
Friday, Jan. 21.
The ballots need to be
turned in by Feb. 8.
If approved, the three-
year replacement mainte-
nance and operations (M&O)
levy will provide about 14
percent of the district's fund-
ing.
District officials say that
the replacement levy rates
are projected to be less than
current ones and that the
district will be eligible to
receive about $7 million in
matching funds.
The projected rate for
2012 is $3.15 per $1,000 of
assessed valuation and will
raise $6,570,000. In 2013,
the rate would be about $3.20
2014 the projected rate is
$3.27 and raise $7,030,000.
By way of comparison, the
estimated rate for the levy
that expires at the end of
this year is $3.37 per $1,000
of assessed valuation.
Local levy dollars provide
funding for basic education
services and day-to-day op-
erating expenses that are
not fully funded by the state
or federal government. Many
of these programs and ser-
vices are required, but since
the district does not receive
adequate funding from the
state or federal government,
the district depends on levy
funds to provide these ser-
vices for students.
Levy money is used for
regular classroom and spe-
cial program teachers and
assistants; instructional
ing to meet unfunded fed-
eral mandates; classroom
furniture and equipment;
secondary summer school;
special education; learning
assistance and remedial in-
struction; truancy; nursing
services; school libraries;
athletics and activities and
after-school programs such
as band, choir, drama, and
various clubs.
Other levy funding helps
provide for swimming pool
operations and high school
auditorium costs; school
safety and emergency pre-
paredness; significant trans-
portation costs beyond what
the state provides; increased
utilities and insurance costs;
technology needs including
equipment upgrades and re-
placement; and maintenance
and repair of facilities.
