Hello Rexburg Community! Voting is next week, and we want to remind our community what the levy on the ballot is for.

The levy would be used to bridge the gap between what state funding provides and the realities of today’s costs of operating and maintaining our schools. From transportation and safety to curriculum, technology, and staffing, these are the day-to-day expenses that keep our schools running.

All district finances are transparent and publicly available. We understand school funding can often be generalized or misunderstood, which is why we encourage our community to stay informed, ask questions, and have conversations with local district leadership about how funding impacts our schools each day.

If you would like to talk through district finances or ask questions directly, our Finance Manager, Blake Snedaker, is available at our temporary district office trailers located on the west side of the Bobcat Fieldhouse. We would be happy to help answer questions and provide information so our community can make informed decisions. #wearemadison


“The estimated average annual cost to the taxpayer on the proposed levy is a tax of $52.97 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value, per year, based on current conditions. The proposed levy replaces an existing levy that expires on June 30, 2026, that currently costs $52.97 per $100,000 of taxable assessed value. Therefore, if the proposed levy is approved, the tax per $100,000 of taxable assessed value is not expected to change. The levy will be assessed for two years.”
