Cedar Rapids school district eyes levy rate amid enrollment dip
The Cedar Rapids School District plans a 2011-12 budget with a declined enrollment and a 2 percent rise in employee retirement contributions as key challenges. A proposed levy rate will be shown at the March 14 meeting, with board allowed to approve a lower rate. The district aims to keep the levy near the current $15.17 per $1,000 value. The Education Leadership & Support Center project, a $44.5 million 169000 square foot facility, is under construction to replace flood-damaged sites and must be completed by May 2012 to secure FEMA and state funding.
