Superintendent of BCSD Jan Bayer, Deputy Clerk for Elections Cherry Grainger and resident Fay Almond entered the meeting at 9:00 a.m.
Ms. Bayer stated that she had requested this meeting to educate what the supplemental levy funded. Ms. Bayer stated that it is well known that the state doesn’t fully fund education - the reality is that it funds 60% of the cost. The supplemental levy has been in place to help fill the gaps since the 1980’s. Ms. Bayer stated that the amount of the levy has not increased since 2015, so the school board is doing their best to be fiscally responsible. She reviewed the list of items that the levy funds and amount paid per $1,000 of assessed value.
Greg Lamberty entered the meeting at 9:18 a.m.
Ms. Bayer stated that they will have the wording for the ballot approved at their March 10th meeting and submitted on March 11th to Ms. Grainger.
Chairman Robertson asked how the agriculture program could be affected if the levy does not pass. Ms. Bayer answered two CTE positions would be cut. Ag affects over 100 students, but it would be considered for the cut.
