Episode Details

Orange City Schools is asking voters to approve a new operating levy on November 3rd — the first such request in 15 years — to keep classrooms running, teachers paid, and essential services intact. With costs soaring faster than revenue, the district’s operating expenses jumped from $53.4 million to $61.1 million in just two years, while reserves are projected to vanish by 2030. This levy isn’t for new buildings — it’s for salaries, supplies, tech, and maintenance. The last time voters approved operating funds was in 2011; last year’s levy covered infrastructure, not day-to-day needs. If passed, funding begins in 2027 — or risk cutting core programs.
