Minidoka County School District is asking for your vote, Tuesday November 7th, to renew the existing supplemental levy as the levy we have now is ending. This supplemental levy will be used to complete many much-needed projects across our district. One of the main projects is updating the internet capability throughout the district. Our students use technology in the classroom now more than ever and our internet connection just can’t keep up and is frequently down. Other projects include HVAC replacements, security systems, and new busses.
On the Minidoka County School District website (www.minidokaschools.org) they have a tab on the right-hand side of their homepage labeled supplemental levy that will take you to a further break down of how the money from the levy will be applied to each school. If you have further questions, please call the district at 208-436-4727.
Vote Tuesday, November 7th!
SUPPLEMENTAL LEVY
For Minidoka County School District
$2,250,000 per year for two years
this is a renewal of the existing levy
Last legislative session, HB 292 provided tax relief for Idaho residents. This is being achieved by providing school districts state funds to pay down bonds and/or levies. As our district currently has two bonds in repayment, the $1.6 million we are receiving from the state will be applied to our bond payments to provide tax relief. In addition, the district received $300k in levy equalization money that will also be applied to our bond payments. Even though the supplemental levy rate is staying the same on the proposed levy, the overall tax rate from the school district will be decreasing due to the additional funds received from the state.
Supplemental Levy in the amount of Two Million Two Hundred Fifty Thousand Dollars ($2,250,000) per year for two (2) years, commencing with the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2024 and ending June 30, 2026.
The estimated average annual cost to the taxpayer on the proposed levy is a tax of $81.64 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value, per year, based on current conditions. The proposed levy replaces an existing levy that expires on June 30,2024, and that currently costs $81.64 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. Therefore, if the proposed levy is approved, the tax per $100,000 of taxable assessed value is not expected to change.
