On February 5, area voters will be asked to vote on a new revenue purpose statement for the Iowa City Community School District. The vote will determine whether the district may continue to use the 1% local option sales tax revenue for infrastructure improvements after 2017. The tax is set to remain through at least 2029, but after 2017 the district will be required to follow state guidelines for spending that money, starting with reducing debt levies and reducing physical plant and equipment levies.
The district is holding a series of information sessions about this vote including one
at Lucas on Wednesday, Dec. 12, from 7-7:30 p.m. Another nearby option is the session
at City High on Monday, Nov. 19, from 7-8 p.m.
