As they work to inform district residents on a Sept. 14 general obligation bond referendum vote for $19. 95 million in updates and upgrades for the IKM-Manning Community School District facilities in Manning and Irwin, the Board of Education is distributing a new fact sheet. This details the tax impact associated with the bond. An approved bond would have an impact of an additional $9.88 per month, or $.33 per day, on a home with a $100,000 assessed value. Agricultural properties will see an increase between $2.63 and $3.16 per acre annually, depending on the location of the property. The board points out that while there would be increases, the IKM-Manning tax rate would still remain one of the lowest in the area. “As a board, we aim to keep property taxes as low as possible in our community,” says President, Sam Hansen. “We have worked to balance the needs of our students and schools with those of our community members while making the most of every dollar invested in our local schools. We want to be completely transparent and ensure our community members know exactly what their tax impact will be if the bond is approved.” In addition to comparisons of tax rates with neighboring school districts, the fact sheet allows residents to calculate their own tax impact. A link to the fact sheet is available below.
