Celina Daily Standard– Celina BOE will ask voters to renew five-year levy
Celina Schools Superintendent Brooke Gessler
“Once you lose that, you never get it back. I do know there are some other line items that the governor vetoed that both the Senate and the House are looking to override and so those have financial implications for the district, especially when it comes to levies.
Because we will likely continue to see a loss of funding that comes our way. So to lose an additional over $4.9 million on top of what we already know would be just shy of devastating. We would have to make some really, really, really big shifts in what we do and how we do it, because that’s a big chunk of money.”
Board members approved the resolution to proceed with the levy. The renewal levy will generate $4.9 million or about 15% of the district’s annual budget, the levy is set to expire at the end of the year.
The filing deadline for local questions and issues to appear on the general election is today.
