Referendum put before voters Extension of an existing operating levy referendum, along with a request for a modest increase, will be put before voters in the Centennial School District Tuesday, Nov. 3. ►CENTENNIAL SCHOOL DISTRICT 12 The details: • Question 1 seeks approval to renew the existing operating levy of $689.17 per pupil unit. Since taxpayers currently fund this levy (which expires in 2011), there will be no change in taxes related to this question. The renewal would continue to provide $5 million per year for another five years beginning with the 2011 -12 school year. • Question 2 seeks to increase the operating levy an additional $295 per pupil unit. These funds are needed because the State of Minnesota did not provide a funding increase to schools. The increase would generate an additional $2.1 million annually for the next six years beginning in 2010 -11. Approval of this question would increase taxes on a $200,000 home by $133.19 per year ($11.10 per month). Visit www.isdl2.org and click on Centennial's web -based tax calculator to learn what the levy means to an individual tax payer. Both levies would expire after the 2015 -16 school year.
