Items to note...

As you may have seen, there was a recent article in the Stillwater County News regarding the educational needs at the schools and a general fund levy election. Currently, the school is not at the maximum budget that is allowed under the law and this levy would help get the district closer to or at the maximum budget.  The Trustees plan to approve the levy amount at the March 11 meeting. The levy will need voter consideration this spring.

Please see the information page, that will provide you with more detailed information regarding the general fund levy, reasons for the levy, how the general fund is funded, how tax impacts are determined, and other specific funds and their purposes.
