(KNZA)--The Riverside USD 114 Board of Education plans to hold a new capital outlay levy election after voters defeated a levy during the August 7th primary election by a narrow margin.
The Board made that decision during their regular meeting August 13.
The Kansas Chief reports the Board decided to hold an election in the beginning of 2019, with a date to be set at their September meeting.
Board members agreed they need to provide more information to voters about why a levy is needed.
Voters during the primary election defeated by a 39-vote margin a levy of up to 4.775 mills annually for five years for the capital outlay fund.
Currently, the Riverside school district is among only 12 districts in the state without a capital outlay levy.
The current source of revenue for the capital outlay fund is an annual transfer from the general fund budget.
