Frequently Asked Questions
What is the NELSD Levy renewal?
The levy is a 1% earned income tax renewal that provides 17% of the school district’s funding. It is not a new tax—it simply continues existing funding for teachers, programs, and student resources.
Will this increase my taxes?
No! This is a renewal, meaning it keeps the current tax rate the same. It does not add any new taxes—it simply allows funding to continue without interruption.

Who pays this levy?
Only those with earned income (salaries, wages, self-employment) pay the levy. It does not apply to Social Security, pensions, annuities, IRAs, bank interest, rental income or investment income.
What does the levy money pay for?
The levy helps fund teacher and staff salaries/benefits, student programs, safety measures, transportation, and school improvements.
What happens if the levy doesn’t pass?
If the levy fails, the district will lose 17% of its budget (about $6 million). The school board would have to make difficult decisions to balance the budget, which could include reductions in staffing levels, student programs, and student services. The loss of 17% of the budget would hinder the development of future plans to address the growing student enrollment and to prepare our students for the workforce.
