Genesee Joint Schools Asks Voters to Renew Supplemental Levy

SUPPLEMENTAL LEVY ELECTION 

WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE LEVY?

The Genesee Joint School District #282 will ask voters on March 14, 2017 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.

This levy is a RENEWAL of the 2016/2017levy. 

The determination of the levy amount is based on the discrepancy between the revenue available to the district from state and federal funding and the educational needs determined by the Board of Trustees. Taking into account the property tax reduction provided by the agricultural equipment replacement exemption, which is approximately $51,726 and the personal business property tax exemption , which is approximately $5,500. The estimated cost of this levy will be approximately  $877,774.

This supplemental levy allows  the district  to support educational and extra-curricular programs for students attending Genesee Joint Schools #282 for the 2017/2018 school year.  The proposed levy provides necessary funds that state and federal dollars do not cover. 

If you have any questions regarding the levy please contact Wendy Moore, Superintendent or Lezah Shinkle, Business Manager.
