School District Question 1 - Approval of Capital Project Levy Authorization for Technology

The board of Independent School District No. 622 (North St. Paul-Maplewood-Oakdale) has also proposed a capital project levy authorization in the amount of 2.477% times the net tax capacity of the school district. The proposed capital project levy authorization will raise approximately $3,000,000 for taxes payable in 2023, the first year it is to be levied, and would be authorized for ten years. The estimated total cost of the projects to be funded over that time period is approximately $30,000,000. The additional revenue from the proposed capital project levy authorization will provide funds for the acquisition, installation, replacement, support and maintenance of software, software licenses, computers, improved technology equipment, networks, infrastructure, and the costs of technology related personnel and training. Shall the capital project levy authorization proposed by the board of Independent School District No. 622 be approved?
