Peninsula School
District Maintenance & Operations Levy
The Peninsula
School District is requesting renewal of local support for the
Maintenance and Operation Levy which expires in 2005. The amount
requested is $14,432,134 for collection in 2006; $14,529,914 for
collection in 2007; $14,939,450 for collection in 2008; and
$15,361,089 for collection in 2009. The estimated cost per $1,000
of assessed value is $2.25 for 2006; $2.17 for 2007; $2.17 for
2008; and $2.17 for 2009.
The District
developed its commitment to educational excellence in its
Strategic Plan, adopted in 2001. This replacement levy proposal
is based upon goals which were established through widespread
community participation. Approval of the requested levy will
continue to fund the teaching and non-certificated positions and
instructional programs supported by the expiring levy. Curriculum
improvement, classroom instructional materials and increased
funding for classroom support are included in this request.
Additionally, facility maintenance and repairs will be continued,
as will the replacement of school buses.
Local levy funding
supports educational, maintenance, facility and equipment
replacement programs not adequately funded by the State. This
Maintenance and Operations levy will provide approximately 19% the
District’s operating budget.
