📢 Why is GR considering an increase in the voted PPEL? 📢 In November, the GO Bond Referendum did not pass, meaning critical facility needs must be addressed immediately to bridge the gap until future plans can be introduced. The voted PPEL provides a funding source to help maintain and improve infrastructure. 🔹 Immediate need items the PPEL funding will help us to address: - HVAC Issues due to our system that is original to the 1921 building - Temperature regulation improvements - Lower Gym Ceiling - Concerning Locker Room Safety issues - Continued Roofing Updates as Scheduled/Recommended - Replacing damaged concrete - Continuing security upgrades - Peeling paint mitigation - Removal, possible abating, and replacement of deteriorating tile floors - Furniture needs and classroom improvements The voted PPEL can only be used for infrastructure, transportation, and equipment needs—it cannot fund salaries, classroom materials, or daily operations. 📅 The measure will be on the March 4th ballot. Some voting details - - Absentee ballots will begin to be sent February 11th - Tama Co Courthouse is closed February 17th - February 18th is the last day to request an absentee ballot - All ballots must be received by March 4th - Polls are open 7 A.M. to 8 P.M. Tuesday March 4th - A written application for a mailed absentee ballot must be received by the voter's County Auditor no later than 5:00 p.m. February 18th. Polling location details will be coming soon! #GRSchools #InfrastructureNeeds #VotedPPEL

Dear Rebels, On March 4th, voters in the Gladbrook-Reinbeck Community School District will consider a measure to increase the voted Physical Plant & Equipment Levy (PPEL) from $0.67 to $1.34 per $1,000 of assessed property value. The PPEL is a dedicated fund that can only be used for specific infrastructure and equipment needs within the district. These funds cannot be used for salaries, classroom supplies, or general operating expenses. What can the PPEL fund? ✔️ School facility maintenance and improvements (HVAC, roofs, plumbing, flooring, etc.) ✔️ Bus and vehicle purchases ✔️ Technology and security upgrades What the PPEL can NOT fund? ❌ Staff salaries ❌ General classroom materials ❌ Daily school operations Why is this measure being considered? School infrastructure requires ongoing maintenance and periodic upgrades to ensure safe and effective learning environments. The current state of our facilities are requiring increased funding to complete necessary projects and make long-term facility improvements. How would this impact property owners? If the measure is approved, the increase would be: 🏠 A home with an assessed value of $100,000 would see an estimated increase of $67 per year (or $5.58 per month). What does this require to pass? The voted PPEL requires a simple majority (50% +1) to be approved. For more details on the measure and how it impacts our district, please do not hesitate to reach out. Thank you for staying informed about our schools and district initiatives. Caleb Bonjour Superintendent Gladbrook-Reinbeck CSD
