Strong local schools are directly tied to community and home values. By maintaining programs, staffing, and academic quality we help protect property values district-wide.

This Earned Income Tax exempts Social Security, retirement income, pensions, IRA distributions, unemployment, workers' comp, interest, dividends, capital gains, and alimony — so retirees and fixed-income households are protected while still supporting local schools.

State funding for Alexander students has stayed flat since 2009, but the cost of educating students rises every year. The district's previous levy expired, and cuts alone — over $1.5 million so far — haven't been enough to close the gap. A new levy is the only way to avoid another $1.5 million in cuts to teachers, staff, transportation, electives, and programs.

The district would need to cut another $1.5 million, which could include:10 more teachers5 more non-teaching staffBusing within 2 miles of schoolThe preschool programField tripsElectives (art, music, PE, STEM) and their teachersFree breakfast and lunchIncreased athletic fees ($250/sport, no cap)Increased club fees ($75/club, no cap)

Average class size in 2025–2026 was 20–24 students. Without the levy, class sizes could rise to 30.

For a household earning the median Alexander income of $65,783/year, the estimated cost is about $493.37 annually — roughly $41.11/month, or $1.37/day (about the price of a daily cup of coffee).

It means these per-sport and per-club fees would apply without a maximum limit, so costs could add up quickly for families with multiple kids in multiple activities.
