Dear Northfield School District Families:
As shared in numerous family updates and other formats this fall, the district is asking voters to renew and expand the capital projects levy on Nov. 8 as part of the general election. You must turn your ballot over to see the two school district questions. Approval of both questions will support the following:
- continued maintenance/improvements to our facilities and grounds;
- ensuring updates to equipment and materials to support students and staff; and
- relieving general fund relief by shifting eligible salary/benefits from the general fund to the capital projects levy
If both questions pass, the district will generate $1.65 million in revenue rather than the $750,000 generated by the existing levy. Owners of a home valued at $350,000 will have an estimated $81 increase in their taxes ($6.75 per month) if both questions pass.
You can learn more about the capital projects levy election here.
You can find out where you should vote using the . Contact me with any questions about the capital projects levy and remember to vote on Nov. 8!
This update includes additional information about superintendent quarterly meetings, a board update, and additional reminders.
Sincerely,
Matt
