What happens if only one ballot question passes?
❎ If one question passes and the other fails, funds from the approved levy can't be shifted to cover the needs of the failed levy.
➡️ If one fails, the district would need to move forward with some budget reductions.
🏫 Passing just one levy would provide some support for our schools, but would also leave financial gaps. Together, the two levies provide a balanced and comprehensive plan to stabilize our budget and protect education.

The upcoming two-question referendum would provide essential funding to enhance safety and security across our schools.
1️⃣ The operating levy would fund staff and student support programs, like School Resource Officers and mental health programs.
2️⃣ The capital projects levy would invest in infrastructure and technology upgrades, such as those identified in MAPS' ongoing safety audit.
Together, these levies support keeping our schools safe and secure. Learn more: Vote152.org #InvestingInProgress

Why is the district proposing two questions to voters on November 4?
➡️ The two levies serve different purposes, and legally must be voted on separately because they impact different types of property taxes.
