ID: Middleton approves supplemental levy for November ballot
The Middleton School District will float a two-year, $3 million supplemental levy this November to keep up with staff, curriculum and maintenance costs. District trustees approved the levy with an unanimous vote at Monday night’s meeting.
The district last passed a supplemental levy in 2022.
The proposed levy is slated to cost district taxpayers $1.5 million per year for two years — averaging to about $38 per $100,000 in taxable income. If passed, the measure would replace the district’s current supplemental levy, which expires in June 2024, and also costs $38 per $100,000.
The levy would run from July 2024 to June 2026.
According to the district’s resolution, the $3 million ask would fund a range of district costs, from classified staff to extracurriculars. Here’s how it would be parceled out:
$500,000 for curriculum adoption
$386,000 for certified teachers
$354,000 for classified staff
$100,000 for building maintenance
$80,000 for a school resource officer
$45,000 for pay to participate activities
$35,000 for transportation
