The Cost & Tax Impact
A Community Investment in Our School
The district is requesting an amount it believes is necessary to sustain a high-quality education while keeping the tax impact as low as possible for our community.
If the operating referendum is approved by voters, the investment would be supported by a property tax increase that would take effect in 2027. Your individual tax impact will depend on the value of the property you own. For example, the estimated tax increase for the owner of a $225,000 home would be about $25 per month, or about $306 per year.

Our goal is to invest responsibly.
Sebeka Public School’s approach will balance quality and affordability, ensuring our students’ needs are met while responsibly managing tax dollars. We know this investment means a lot to our taxpayers — but this funding is essential to maintain quality education in Sebeka.
Why an operating levy referendum?
An operating levy is a voter-approved funding source that helps pay for the daily costs of running schools. This can include teachers, support staff, programs, classroom materials, activities, transportation, and other ongoing education needs.
Unlike a building bond, which pays for construction, an operating levy supports the day-to-day work that happens inside our buildings — the teaching, learning and student opportunities that make Sebeka Public School strong.
