Elections
To the voters of the Fowler Elementary School District
The governing board of the district has called a special budget override election to be held on November 7, 2023, to request voter authorization to exceed the maintenance and operation budget limit by 15% of the revenue control limit to fund existing programs, such as budget override to be in effect for a period of seven years. The increase authorized by this election shall be funded by a levy of taxes on the taxable property within the district. The proposed override is a continuation of the existing 15% override.
The 15% maintenance and operation budget override would continue funding for programs currently serving district students. This override supports the district's efforts to help maintain present levels of service. The override funds will be used for the following:
- Maintain staffing levels, specifically student-teacher ratios
- Maintain class sizes in all grade levels
- Maintain school-based student services (library and health services)
- Retain assistant principal positions at all schools
- Maintain music, art, PE, and other special area programs
- Maintain band programs
- Maintain salary for all staff
- Maintain the ability to accept students that reside outside the district boundaries
