school levy
District funding vote
A school levy is a local tax, typically on property, that funds public schools in a specific district.
Unlike general taxes, levies usually require voter approval and may be for specific purposes like building construction, operating expenses, or technology upgrades: The school levy failed to pass for the third time.
Districts often campaign for levies when state funding falls short.
