Voter decide on Ada school renewal levy Nov. 6
A five-year permanent improvement renewal levy is on the ballot for voters in the Ada school district on Tuesday, Nov. 6. Here are answers to some of the frequently asked questions about the levy.
When will this renewal levy be on the ballot?
November 6, 2018
What kind of levy is this?
This is a renewal of a Permanent Improvement levy. The levy is NOT a new tax and is NOT a tax increase. It is a 2.9 mill property tax levy.
When was this levy first approved by voters?
Voters first approved it in 1990, and voters have generously renewed or replaced it since that time.
What does “Permanent Improvement” mean?
Permanent Improvement monies cannot be used for general operating costs, but must be used for items that have a life of five years or more, such as school equipment and machinery, text books, technology, security equipment, and building repairs.
Why is passing this levy important to the school?
Without specific permanent improvement monies, these expenditures would have to come out of general fund monies, reducing the general fund monies available for educational expenses.
With the new school reaching 10 years of age, we must continue to invest in maintenance and responsible replacement of out of date items in such a way to extend the life and maintain the efficiency of the building.
