Capital Projects Levy Renewal

2024 Safety & Technology Levy Renewal

  • Shakopee Public Schools’ current Capital Projects Levy, often referred to as a ‘technology levy’ or ‘safety & technology levy’, was approved by voters in 2015 for ten years.  Renewal of the existing Capital Projects Levy was approved on June 24, 2024 to be on the November 5, 2024 General Election ballot. Early voting starts September 20, 2024.

    This levy is scheduled to expire at the end of the 2025-26 school year, unless voters approve to continue the same levy at the same tax rate and same terms, for another ten years. If renewed, the levy will continue to provide: 

    • Strong safety and security for all schools. 
    • Critical support that allows staff to provide quality instruction. 
    • Tools students use for learning today, and leading tomorrow. 

Critical Support

  • 11+ buildings, 1.7+ million square feet of space and over 350+ acres of land are secured using systems such as Raptor Visitor Management, security cameras, badge/lock devices and more.  If renewed, the Safety & Technology Levy will also continue to provide revenue for technology devices, infrastructure and student support. Examples include: 

    • 1:1 devices that allow each and every student access to real-world learning experiences.
    • Use of Canvas, Seesaw and Infinite Campus to monitor and track student progress.
    • Communication programs to support over 80 languages in the district that are spoken by families, and other tools used by educators and staff to enhance student learning.
