The Cost

On November 7, ISD 318 voters will be asked to consider three ballot questions that, if approved, would increase funding for our schools.

Our district has worked hard to develop a plan that provides high value for taxpayer-investment in our schools.

On Tuesday, November 7, ISD 318 voters will be asked to consider three ballot questions:

  • Question One proposes a $1,100 per pupil operating levy that would provide the district with an additional $4.6 million each year.

  • Question Two proposes a $2.5 million annual capital projects levy.

  • Question Three proposes a $300 per pupil operating levy that would provide the district with an additional $1.2 million each year.

The three ballot questions will be presented separately to voters:

  • Question One determines the fate of the other questions. If Question One does not pass, then Question Two and Question Three automatically fail, no matter their vote totals.

  • Question Two can only pass if Question One passes.

  • Question Three can only pass if Question One and Two also pass.

  • The levies would be in place for seven years if approved by voters.

Calculate your tax impact

If all three ballot questions pass, a home valued at $200,000 would see an estimated property tax increase of $30.75 per month starting in 2024. A home valued at $300,000 would see an estimated increase of $46.75 per month.
