Local Option Levy Renewal on November Ballot
The Eugene School Board has placed Ballot Measure 20-137, a renewal of the district's Local Option Levy, on the Nov. 4 ballot.
The Eugene School District Local Option Levy is a property tax that provides money for 4J school operations. The current levy expires in 2010; it was first approved by voters in 2000 and renewed in 2004.
Ballot Measure 20-137 would renew the levy at the same tax rate for another five years, through June 2015. If approved, the district would expect the levy to generate $15 million-$17 million per year, the equivalent of operating two high schools for a year. The levy would maintain current school programs and staffing levels to the extent possible. Without this levy the school district would need to reduce its budget by about 10 percent, beginning in fall 2010. Download a fact sheet PDF, or read more here.
