Good morning Sioux Central Community, I just wanted to reach out to the community and share the polling information. The website listed in this email will direct you to the proper polling site for the upcoming School Board election and PPEL vote. I also attached a Sample Ballot for the community members to look at before heading to the polls on November 7, 2023. Here is the website for the polling sites: Map on our website https://bvcountyelections.iowa.gov/ You can also use the Secretary of State website: https://sos.iowa.gov/elections/voterreg/pollingplace/search.aspx. Please reach out with any questions. Go Rebels, Mr. Wood

What a spook-tacular group of individuals work at Sioux Central! Each and every day they are 'creepin' it real. This week we are 'carving' out some time for four staff members who join the list of others who have been highlighted! Congratulations to each of them. Have a 'fang-tastic' week!!

¡Last chance to order Wrestling Cheer apparel! Order forms are due tomorrow. Shirt forms can be found here: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1mcsjABR0ssDmf7WqEDW2kPUDSiyP1yJo/view?usp=sharing

The yearbook staff would like to give a big THANK YOU to all of our sponsors who have donated to this year’s yearbook! If you would like to donate, please email yearbook23@siouxcentral.org for information.

Sioux Central Community, I have had a few questions in regard to the estimated cost of the three phases involved in the Ag, Arts, and Academics project. Phase I will cost around $3-3.1 million for the new choir/band classrooms. Phase II is estimated to be between $5.2-5.5 million and phase three would cost around $1- 1.1 million (this phase could occur at any point in time as we would use cash for this phase). The Phase I &II costs are estimates and would come from a combination of the SAVE (Statewide Penny Sales tax and the voted PPEL (if it passes in November). The $ 0.18 increase is what our patrons would see if the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy passes on November 7th. Thank you and Go Rebels! Mr. Wood

Ag students study food security issues. Three students took it further in 2023 and submitted research papers to World Food Prize. Hannah Brown was invited to the Global Youth Institute to learn about global food issues and solutions from agricultural leaders and policymakers.

Sioux Central Community, Below is another look at the tax impact the Voted PPEL will have on residential property, commercial property, and ag land. The increase will be approximately $ 0.18 per $1,000. Between the SAVE( Statewide Penny Sales Tax) and potentially the voted PPEL, these two sources, in combination, will fund the AG, Arts, and Academic projects. The example given below in the residential property section shows an assessed value of a home in BV county of $295,000, with the age of the homeowner being 47, and an overall annual tax increase of $24.49.($2.04 per month) The commercial property example is assessed at $175,000, which is an annual increase of $16.97.($1.41 per month) The Agricultural assessed value in the example below is at the Buena Vista Assessed Value of $1,899 per acre at 500 acres for an annual increase of $123.77( $10.31 per month) Thank you and please reach out with any questions you may have! Go Rebels! Mr. Wood
