A satellite voting station is available TODAY from 1:00pm to 7:00pm at Carlisle High School. 🗳️
Registered voters who reside in the Carlisle CSD may cast an absentee ballot ahead of the September 9 election. On the ballot are two measures for our school district:
➡️ Renewal of a voted Physical Plant & Equipment Levy (PPEL)
➡️ Adoption of a Revenue Purpose Statement (RPS)
CCSD is one of the more than 85% of Iowa school districts that rely on a voted PPEL to fund infrastructure improvements and equipment purchases. We are asking voters to consider extending this levy through 2036 at the existing rate.
An approved RPS would give the district the ability to use state sales tax revenue to address facility needs.
Fall sports are back in action, and our students are ready to compete! Whether you're cheering from the stands or following along from home, there are plenty of opportunities to support our Wildcats this season. 🐾📣

Carlisle CSD relies on a voted Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) and one-cent state sales tax revenue to address a variety of infrastructure and equipment needs. This list includes:
☑️ Modernizing & furnishing classrooms
☑️ Building & grounds maintenance
☑️ Upgrading safety & security
☑️ Repairing and replacing roofs
☑️ Upgrading HVAC, plumbing & electrical systems
☑️ Purchasing musical instruments
☑️ Improving athletic facilities
On Tuesday, September 9, district residents will consider renewing the voted PPEL for an additional 10 years. This will allow us to continue making investments in our schools and providing students with more resources, all while maintaining the existing levy rate.
Also on the ballot is the proposed adoption of a Revenue Purpose Statement (RPS). This would provide the flexibility to use our annual disbursement of statewide sales tax revenue in a manner most effective for our district.

On Tuesday, September 9, residents of the Carlisle Community School District will consider renewing our voted Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) and adopting a Revenue Purpose Statement (RPS). 🗳️
More than 85% of Iowa school districts rely on a voted PPEL for financial support. This levy generates funds that can only be used for infrastructure and equipment repairs, purchases, and improvements. It must be renewed every 10 years to remain in place.
An RPS guides how school districts can spend revenue from the statewide one-cent sales tax fund, known as SAVE. If approved, an RPS will provide the district with the flexibility to use these funds in a manner most effective for our students. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1iq-UczEcJVAMVTjO_z5SirW7EYJ5eS9s/edit
Approval of these items WILL NOT increase local property taxes and WILL NOT create a new tax.
