EP&O and Tech Levies
Local voters have just over one week left to vote whether to renew two important levies that provide critical funding to sustain programs and resources for FWPS district’s scholars and staff. Both the Educational Programs and Operations (EP&O) Levy and Tech Levy fuel FWPS’ ability to provide scholars with ongoing equitable, high-quality, and supportive educational experiences and opportunities.
Please vote by 8 PM on Tuesday, February 8, 2022.
A quick overview of the levies on the ballot:
· Levies cover essential education programs and enrichment opportunities that are not funded by the state.
· These taxes are not new – voters have consistently approved these levies throughout the years. FWPS is seeking a renewal of existing levies.
· The total combined tax rate for school-related taxes would be roughly the same as it is currently (EP&O Levy, Tech Levy, and 2017 bond)
· The EP&O Levy represents approximately 8% of the districts overall budget, and funds essential school support staff, programs, and services.
· The Tech Levy ensures continued student technology access, devices and professional development for teachers, and infrastructure and software maintenance upgrades.
Please remember to vote by 8 PM on February 8, 2022!
