2020 Levy

Educational Programs & Operations Levy Renewal

Proposition 1 was a levy passed on the February 11, 2020 ballot. The levy was a renewal of the existing levy that continued the support of every Dieringer student, not a new tax.

The renewal of the Educational Programs & Operations Levy will continue to pay for district expenses that are not fully funded by the state, such as:

• Our non-high payments
• Camp Cispus
• Food Service
• 35% of Special Education 
• 42% of Supplies and Materials
• 18% of Certificated Staff—which includes classroom teachers, counselors, nurses, and psychologists
• 6% of Classified Staff—which includes para educators, bus drivers, transportation and maintenance staff, and office staff

Ensured Student Success

• Athletics, clubs, and extracurricular activities
• Access to arts and music at all schools
• Salaries for teachers, librarians, nurses, and counselors
• Special education programs
• Instructional materials and textbooks
• Increased funds for behavior support, bullying prevention, and mental health counseling

• Ensured equitable access to learning opportunities in every school
• Maintained necessary student and staff safety and security systems
• Continued upkeep of roofs, heating and mechanical systems, and other infrastructure
