We have a 33 cent board approved PPEL Levy and a 67 cent voter approved PPEL Levy. The last year that we will receive funding under the current levy is 2001-02.
Funding can be from a property tax or a combination of income surtax and property tax.
Some specific expenditures include roof repair, redoing the tennis courts at Washington, carpet replacement, replacement of computer labs, purchasing of buses, replacing the fire alarm systems, concrete work, replacing the baseball field lights, removal of underground gas tanks, replacement of outdated phone system, copy machines, boiler repair, and the networking of our buildings for computer and phone usage. Some future PPEL projects include demolition of the old part of Lincoln Elementary, new boiler in the Schuler Building, auditorium lighting project in the Middle School, school buses, computer labs, carpet replacement, electrical upgrade at the Middle School, roof repairs. The patrons in this district can pride themselves on the fact the Atlantic Community School District has excellent facilities. It is our desire to be able to continue to properly maintain and refurbish our existing facilities when needed. The PPEL Levy has afforded us the opportunity to do so without having to use General Fund dollars.
