Board Approves April School Levy

DAYTON – The Dayton School Board approved a resolution last week to place a capital projects levy on the April 28 ballot. The levy will request $800,000, collected over a two-year period during 2016 and 2017, to fund purchases and repairs that address safety, security and efficiency.

The district has scheduled a public informational meeting for next Wednesday, March 4, to provide background on the proposed levy. The regular board meeting will take place at 6:30 p.m. and then adjourn to the special public meeting at 7 p.m. in the high school auditorium.

The board plans to use the levy money to address entry and exit doors, a remodel of the front wall of the gym entryway, roof projects, updates for the phone and other communication systems, irrigation system for watering district grounds and athletic facilities, repairs to the elementary asphalt playground and roof, and campus-wide sidewalk repairs.
