Sibley, Iowa — Voters in the Sibley-Ocheyedan Community School District will be going to the polls on Tuesday, and proponents of the issue hope the third time is the charm.
Sibley-Ocheyedan Superintendent Stan DeZeeuw tells us more.
We asked him why they are trying to raise the tax from 67 cents per thousand to a dollar per thousand.
He gives us an example of what the PPEL — or as he calls it – VPPEL (the “v” is for voted) — has been used for over the years.
DeZeeuw emphasises that if this measure doesn’t pass, it does NOT mean that the rate will stay at 67 cents per thousand. He says if it fails, they get nothing — zero of that portion.
We’ll have more from Mr. DeZeeuw in future newscasts.
