Loveland School Levy (Update)
From the most recent newsletter from the Loveland School Disctrict concerning the Levy on the May 3 Ballot:
The date Tuesday, May 3, 2011 is an important day for the Loveland City School District. The district has a 3.5 mill operating levy on the ballot to generate approximately $2.7 million a year for the district.
"We have studied our budget and believe this is the minimum amount to keep our district financially solvent and educationally sound for the next several years. The passage of the levy is critical," Loveland Superintendent Dr. John Marschhausen said.
According to Marschhausen, the district's staff has agreed to pay freezes and zero step increases for the next two years as the district faces state, national, and local cuts. While Dr. Marschhausen is optimistic that the levy will pass, he and the Board of Education have made plans in case the levy fails. The Board has proposed cuts in staffing and transportation, increases in pay to participate fees, and the adoption of alternating kindergarten.
Dr. Marschhausen has scheduled dozens of community meetings to share details on the operating levy and finances of the district. He has two remaining Community Conversations scheduled.
