PRESCOTT -- Voters in the Prescott School District are being asked to approve a $585,00 2-year replacement levy to help fund programs and activities not paid for by the state.

The levy pays for excess costs for operations and food products for the food service program, maintenance of building and grounds, updating classroom texts and materials, sport, technology, music, physical education and increased utility costs.

If passed the levy would cost property owners approximately $2.39 per $1,000 of assessed valuation in each collection year. A owner of a property valued at $100,000 would pay $23.90 in 2013 and in 2014 for the levy. The estimated rate on the new levy is 21 cents lower than the rate of the current levy approved by voters in 2010.
