Where to Vote
Dear Families, On Tuesday, March 7, our community will vote on both a Physical Plant & Equipment Levy (PPEL) and a Revenue Purpose Statement proposal for the Exira-Elk Horn-Kimballton Community School District. Neither would lead to a property tax increase. I would like to share some information on each item and how it would impact our schools. Voted PPEL A voted PPEL is a voter-approved levy that generates funds a school district can use for infrastructure and equipment repairs, purchases and improvements. Funds may be used only for these purposes. The district would target the following urgent projects with these funds: Updating and maintaining facilities Possible secured entrances (in conjunction with the district’s vulnerability assessment) Transportation needs District technology Other deferred maintenance If approved, the PPEL’s current maximum property tax rate impact of $1.00 per year on every $1,000 of taxable property value would remain unchanged. As a result, an approved vote would not lead to a property tax increase. Revenue Purpose Statement Secure an Advanced Vision for Education (SAVE)—also known as the statewide one-cent sales tax for education—allows Iowa school districts to ask voters to approve a Revenue Purpose Statement to continue investing sales tax funds in school infrastructure projects. An approved RPS would not affect the property tax rate or the sales tax. It would simply specify where and how the School Board may use SAVE funds. Polls will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on election day. To find your polling location, please visit https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/voterreg/PollingPlace/search.aspx. You can learn more about the two items on the ballot by visiting https://www.exira-ehk.k12.ia.us/o/exira-ehk/page/march-7-election-information. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions. As always, thank you for your support of Exira-EHK and the students we serve. Sincerely, Trevor Miller Superintendent
