Over the next two weeks, you'll see posts from the TFSD regarding the Supplemental Levy. We hope these posts provide information so that all community members can make an informed decision on election day.
Why does the TFSD need a supplemental levy?
The Twin Falls School District has been utilizing a supplemental levy for 12 years. Originally the district pursued the levy during the Great Recession to help keep district programs whole as state funding decreased. State funding has increased to pre-recession levels but increased costs continue to put pressure on the District to maintain programs solely on state funding. The levy does not supplement but rather is part of the operational budget to continue to offer the current level of programming and support for students. This includes:
safe and secure school facilities with school staff members directly responsible for ensuring students are safe;
ideal class sizes where teachers can teach effectively and all students are provided the attention and support they need;
engaging activities for students with a wide variety of interests that do not require upfront payment for students to be able to participate;
sufficient numbers of staff members focused on supporting all aspects of the school operations so that teachers can focus on teaching.
The estimated average annual cost to the taxpayer on the proposed levy is a tax of $91 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value, per year, based on current conditions. The proposed levy replaces an existing levy that expires on June 30, 2025 and that currently costs $72 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. Therefore, if the proposed levy is approved, the tax per $100,000 of taxable assessed value is expected to increase by $19 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. To put it in perspective, the estimated tax impact of the proposed levy equates to $7.58 per month for every $100,000 of taxable property value (after homeowners exemption). This would be an increase of $1.58 per month per $100,000 of taxable value from the current levy rate.
