PPEL Vote FULL STORY HERE
WHAT IS THE $1.00 PPEL RENEWAL VOTE?
The school district’s voter-approved 10-year Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) is our primary source of funds for ALL facility repairs, renovations and equipment! Renewal of PPEL allows this funding source to continue and district needs in these areas to be met.
The West Marshall Community School District has relied on a regular Board-approved $.33 levy for common purchases, including buses, to sustain our General Funds. This has been in place since PPEL originated in the late 1980’s. The voter-approved PPEL for $1.00 per/$1,000 assessed property value was passed and has been in place since 2017.
West Marshall is only seeking to renew the $1.00 in order to AVOID an increase in our current tax rate and remain tax neutral while many districts approve the $1.34 maximum allowed amount.
