Proposed Buhl School District Levy Increase: What Local Taxpayers Need to Know

The Buhl School District has thanked parents, guardians, and the community for their support. The district aims to use taxpayer resources responsibly to support student education.

The district is proposing a $650,000 supplemental levy to replace the current $400,000 one, which ends in June. The levy funds help cover the costs of running the district's operations and programs. This new levy would mean an extra $1.89 per month per $100,000 of assessed value.

Since 2014, the district has used a supplemental levy to help with funding. The new levy would go towards staffing, student programs, transportation, and maintenance. More information is available on the district's website, and Superintendent Angie Oparnico can answer questions.

The proposed levy would cost taxpayers an average of $58.96 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value each year. This would replace the current levy, which costs $36.28 per $100,000 and ends on July 1, 2024. If approved, the tax per $100,000 of taxable assessed value would increase by $22.68.

Community members can vote on the levy on May 21, 2024. More details are available on the district's website.
