Supplemental Levy Election 2019




The Genesee Joint School District #282 will ask voters on March 12, 2019 to RENEW the proposed one year levy of $935,000.  This supplemental levy allows the district to maintain quality educational programs and opportunities for students of the Genesee Joint School District #282.

The Levy is a RENEWAL of the 2018/19 levy. 

The determination of the levy amount is based on the discrepancy between the revenue available to the school district from state and federal funding and the educational needs as determined by the Board of Trustees.  Taking into account the property tax reduction provided by the agricultural equipment replacement exemption and the personal business property tax exemption, which combined is approximately $52,119, the estimated cost of this levy will be approximately $882,881.

This supplemental levy allows the district to support educational and extra-curricular programs for students attending Genesee Joint Schools for the 2019/20 school year.  The proposed levy provides necessary funds that state and federal dollars do not cover.

If you have any questions regarding the levy an informational meeting will be held on Feb. 26 at 6:00 p.m. in the Multi-Purpose room.  If you are unable to attend and have questions, please contact Mrs. Lezah Shinkle, Business Manager or Dr. Wendy Moore, Superintendent at 208-285-1161.

Polls are open March 12, 2019 from 8:00 - 8:00 p.m.
