Voters in Pella will have the opportunity to help the Pella Community School District continue to fund needed infrastructure with an upcoming ballot initiative.

Superintendent Greg Ebeling tells KNIA/KRLS News renewal of the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) will be part of Tuesday’s school board elections. Ebeling says an extension of the levy will continue to allow them to adequately fund building maintenance, transportation, and updated technology each year.

Ebeling says a yes vote does not equate to any tax increase, and not having the levy means those expenses would come out of the general fund used to pay for staff salaries and programs.
