On Tuesday, the Revenue Purpose Statement on the ballot for Glenwood CSD fell a little short of being approved by voters.
We know this result is not a reflection of the support of our community for our schools. Rather, the RPS renewal simply was not a good fit at this time.
The Board of Education and administration will look for alternative solutions to address our facility needs, and we will seek the community’s input and engagement as we move forward with this process.
Thank you for your consideration of the measure on the ballot.

The Glenwood Community School District receives more than $2.5 million annually in statewide one-cent sales tax funds (SAVE) to support facility improvements and other projects.
On Tuesday, March 5, our community will consider renewing the Revenue Purpose Statement to allow the district to leverage future SAVE dollars to support programs like Kids Place, THRIVE, and more.
A renewed RPS will not increase property taxes, affect the sales tax, or create a new tax.
