The Cost

Our current levy is for $490,000 (2022).
It was passed in 2018 for different dollar amounts to keep the Rate constant at $1.50/thousand of assessed value.
The proposed levy is for $495,000 for the entire term of the levy (4 years). This will reduce the Rate if property values increase. The dollar amount paid will remain constant regardless of changing property values.
The district is committed to improving opportunities for all students. The staff has demonstrated a commitment to making ongoing changes that will improve student learning. Over the last two years the Republic School District has offered in-person opportunities for students that have not been available across the state. We are committed to being open and serving students everyday.
The district is committed to providing quality curriculum and technology that will prepare our students for their future. The district has purchased new Math, Science, and Language Arts curriculum in the last 2 years.
Republic has a strong tradition of athletic excellence, is committed to ongoing staff development, and is staffed by many committed and creative individuals.
