On Tuesday, March 4, residents of the Missouri Valley Community School District will consider renewing the district’s voted Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) and adopting a Revenue Purpose Statement (RPS).
Voted PPELs must be renewed by voters every 10 years to remain in place. Our existing levy has a rate of $1.34 per $1,000 of taxable property value, which would remain the same if at least 50% of voters approve the measure.
A Revenue Purpose Statement guides how Iowa school districts are able to spend revenue received from the statewide one-cent sales tax fund, known as SAVE. If approved, the RPS will provide MVCSD the flexibility to use this money in a manner most effective for our district and students. Without voter approved flexibility, we are limited it how we are able use the one-cent sales tax funds.
An approved RPS on March 4 would NOT lead to an increase in local property or sales taxes, and it also would NOT create a new tax or extend an existing tax
For those who plan to vote on election day, the polls will be open on March 4 from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Harrison County residents will vote at the Rand Center (100 S. 4th St., Missouri Valley), while Pottawattamie County residents will vote at Crescent Elementary School (401 E. Welch St., Crescent).
