Falls City School District asked voters to decide a school operations levy that would raise about $750,000 over five years for after-school programs such as sports, music and extracurricular activities including math and literacy development.
Property owners would be taxed $1.25 per $1,000 of assessed value for five years, the same rate they are currently paying that expires in June 2025. Homeowners with an average assessed value of $250,000 would pay about $312 per year.
