(KWNO)-Based on unofficial election results, voters in the Winona Area Public Schools district have approved the renewal of the district’s Capital Projects Levy.
The approval renews the Capital Projects Levy for another 10 years while maintaining the existing levy rate. The levy is expected to provide approximately $1.7 million in 2027 for eligible technology, safety, communication and career-ready learning needs.
“We are grateful to everyone who took time to learn about the proposal, ask questions and participate in the election,” Superintendent Brad Berzinski said. “The community’s decision provides a reliable funding source for systems that support nearly every part of the student and staff experience.
Capital Projects Levy funding may support cybersecurity, secure entrances, cameras, emergency communication systems, networks, phones and internet service. It may also support digital curriculum, classroom technology, student information systems, devices, maintenance, planned replacement and eligible technology used in Career and Technical Education.
Specific future purchases have not been approved. The district will continue to evaluate needs through its public budgeting process and provide updates as plans are developed.
The Capital Projects Levy was first approved by voters in 2016.
