On Tuesday, March 7, there will be two items on the ballot for the Central DeWitt Community School District. These include a voted Physical Plant & Equipment Levy (PPEL) and a Revenue Purpose Statement (RPS). Neither would lead to a property tax increase. A voted PPEL is a voter-approved levy that generates funds a school district can use for infrastructure and equipment repairs, purchases and improvements. Funds may be used only for these purposes. Additionally, SAVE (also known as the statewide one-cent sales tax for education) allows Iowa school districts to ask voters to approve a Revenue Purpose Statement to continue investing state sales tax funds in school infrastructure projects. This money helps us cover a wide variety of facility maintenance and repair needs. We look forward to sharing more information and answering community members' questions in the weeks ahead. #gosabers #centraldewittcsd #cdhs #cdms #cdis #ekstrandelementary #march7election #ppel #rps'
