The ISD 2142 school board finalized and approved language for November’s ballot at their regular meeting on Tuesday, August 11.
Voters within ISD 2142 will make two decisions during this year’s elections: first, to approve an operating referendum authorizing the district to raise tax and state aid revenue that will provide $3,160 per student; second, to allow for a $1,500,000 capital project levy. The operating referendum would result in a $73 tax increase for properties valued at $100,000, on top of a $17 increase to provide for capital projects. Both levies will stand for 10 years, though the operating levy could be revoked or reduced through proper legal process.
District residents would begin paying the new rates next year, with the levy first applied in 2026 and payable in 2027.
