Capital Projects Levy for Technology

The other item on the ballot is a capital projects levy ballot measure for school technology and security. The school district is asking residents to support a dedicated funding source for growing technology needs for building security, academics, and communication.

Here's the ballot question:

Approval of Capital Project Levy Authorization For Technology

The school board of Independent School District No. 623 (Roseville Area Schools) has proposed a capital levy authorization of 5.808% times the net tax capacity of the school district. The additional revenue from the proposed capital project levy authorization will be used to provide funds for the acquisition, installation, replacement, support and maintenance of software, computers, mobile devices, network connectivity, improved safety, security and cybersecurity systems, Wi-Fi networks, data storage, website updates, office and instructional technology, and to pay the costs of technology-related personnel and training. The proposed capital project levy authorization will raise approximately $6,000,000 for taxes payable in 2026, the first year it is to be levied, and would be authorized for ten years. The estimated total cost of the projects to be funded over that time period is approximately $60,000,000.
