The Hot Springs School District is sending out a community survey to gather information about your support of a General Fund Levy. The levy request, up to $185,000, will be used to support the general operation and maintenance of the District’s General Fund. This levy would increase the taxes on home with a market value of $100,000 approximately $108.61 and on a home with a market value of $200,000 approximately $217.22.
What does general operation and maintenance mean? The general fund is used to financially support all costs associated with educating Hot Springs students. This includes power, heating, water, curriculum materials and supplies, and yes, maintaining and recruiting high-quality staff. Over the past several years the school district administration and school board have strived to keep local taxpayer levies stable from year to year. They have done so by utilizing grant funding such as Title I, Impact Aid and ESSER to supplement the general fund. However, as ESSER fund availability no longer exists, Title I support, Impact Aid support, and state funding support has decreased through declining enrollment, and operational costs have risen sharply in all areas due to inflation, your school district needs your support.
The Hot Springs School District currently educates 165 children of our community; our children deserve an outstanding education with the opportunities students receive in larger districts. The Hot Springs School District, indeed, is the largest employer in Hot Springs, employing 34 individuals, most of whom are residents of the District, most of whom are homeowners and taxpayers here in Hot Springs. Our employees positively impact our local economy every day. We do business, ranch, and farm here, we serve on our community committees here, we shop in our local stores, and we frequent our community establishments.
Please find the time to fill out and return the survey by March 2nd.
