For the first time in 20 years the Plummer-Worley School District will submit a supplemental levy to voters. The district says they are requesting the levy because of decreasing state and federal funding in conjunction with increasing expenses. 

Over the last seven years the district's general funds have decreased by $1.6 million. Because of this there have been $1.3 million in staffing cuts. If the levy passes the district will use it to keep existing staff, keep full-time kindergarten, provide required courses, replace school safety equipment, and to replace obsolete text books.

Because of funding cuts, the district was unable to offer band and art classes this year. District officials say that if the levy does not pass that some athletics will have to be cut as well. The levy election will be on May 21, for more information visit the district website http://www.pwsd44.com.
