MANLY — The Central Springs Community School District will be holding two community information meetings in the next week regarding the district’s upcoming Physical Plant and Equipment Levy vote.

Central Springs voters are being asked to approve the PPEL for an amount not to exceed $1.34 per $1000 of assessed property value with an income surtax for the next ten years. This would raise the tax rate by an estimated 42 cents per $1000.

The district says they are seeking the additional funds to improve school safety, playgrounds, career and technical education equipment, as well as transportation and technology. 

The two meetings will be held: this Wednesday from 6:30 to 7:30 at the Nora Springs campus at 509 Iowa Avenue; as well as next Monday from 6:30 to 7:30 at the Manly campus at 105 South East Street. The district has a section of their website at centralsprings.net with information related to the levy.

The PPEL vote takes place on September 12th.
