Dear Highland Parents and Community Members,
We want to take this opportunity to inform you that the Highland Schools will be asking voters to pass a 4.7 mill Substitute Levy on the upcoming May 4 ballot. THIS IS NOT A TAX INCREASE.
This levy is a “substitute” for the current 5.1 mill, 10 year emergency levy, which will expire on December 31, 2021. It will initially generate $4.6 million -- the same amount as the current levy. But, unlike the expiring levy, the substitute levy allows for additional revenue when there is new home and/or business construction in the district.
The passage of this substitute levy is critical for the day-to-day operation of our school district as it funds educational basics including teachers, classroom materials, support services and utilities to help educate all students.
