Welcome to our website, which contains information about the Kuna School District's supplemental levy in the upcoming Nov. 5 election and its impact on our students.

About the Supplemental Levy

On the ballot, voters will decide on a property tax measure that directly affects the quality of education within our district: the Kuna School District Supplemental Levy.

• 43 teachers: $3,359,360
• Student technology and textbooks: $250,000
• Total annual levy amount: $3,609,360 per year for two years

Financial Implications

The estimated average annual cost to the taxpayer on the proposed levy is a tax of $65.48 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value, per year, based on current conditions.

Impact on Our Students with Levy Passage

Funds from this levy will maintain high educational standards within our schools. These funds will be used to:

• maintain 37 current teachers,
• add 6 new teachers to help reduce class sizes, and
• pay for student technology and textbooks

Impact on Our Students with Levy Failure

If the levy fails, we will need to cut about $3.2 million. In August, the Kuna School Board reviewed proposed reductions that could occur including cutting about 37 positions:  

• leading to increased class sizes K-12
• changing high school schedules
• reducing kindergarten to half-time
• diverting career technical education funds meant for equipment and supplies to cover the salaries of two teachers
