Thank you to voters for passing the
Operational Levy for Boulder Valley School District. I appreciate the high
level of support from the community.
Ballot Measure 3A approved by voters
establishes an operational mill levy which will fund a portion of the $33.4
million in present ongoing maintenance, custodial, security, and technology
expenditures. Resources from the levy will allow investment for ongoing
preventative maintenance and repairs to extend facility life.
General fund resources freed up by the
operational levy will be available to support the following services:
·
Maintain present level of educational
services.
·
Invest in preventative maintenance for
buildings and equipment.
·
Replace out-of-date textbooks and
learning materials.
·
Fund compensation and benefits for all
employees.
·
Provide training for staff.
·
Employ educators to meet student needs.
Initially the levy will generate $10
million dollars a year. The Board of Education has authority to increase the
levy to 4 mills in future years which would provide more than $25 million
dollars a year for district investment in services.
I appreciate voters approving this
much-needed financial support for BVSD students. Resources from the
levy will be used to offset inadequate funding provided by the state
legislature.
