Lincolns for Levies

THE GENERAL FUND LEVIES

Every year the Bozeman School District ask voters to approve two operating levies to reduce a projected budget shortfall.  This year, those levies will be as follows:

Elementary Annual General Fund Operating Levy
Due to enrollment fluctuations, the Elementary General Fund will be at its cap and no additional levy is being proposed.

High School Annual General Fund Operating Levy
High School Trustees are requesting a $380,000 General Fund operating levy increase to maximize the purchasing power (budget authority) for programs and personnel.  If approved, this request would permanently raise property taxes for a home approximately $1.73 annually for a home with an assessed market value of $100,000. (Assessed market value is generally less than the market price of a home in the Bozeman area.)  

This year, the Bozeman School District is asking voters to approve to  school safety levy

​

High School and Elementary Safety Levies

School safety levies provide a dedicated revenue stream for the ongoing costs of school safety, including counselors and School Resource Officers. If approved, safety-related costs would be removed from the General Funds and coded to the safety levies.  The District is requesting a 4-mill safety levy in the Elementary District and a 2-mill safety levy in the High School District.
