(KNZA)--Riverside USD 114 has set two public meetings to provide information on the capital outlay levy question that voters will face during the August 7th primary election.

According to the district’s website, the meetings will take place Thursday, July 12th at the east campus gym in Elwood and Thursday, July 26th at the west campus auditorium in Wathena.

Both meetings will begin at 7 p.m.

Information will be presented on the need for the capital outlay levy, and there will also be a designated time for questions from patrons of the district.

The USD 114 Board of Education voted in May to place the tax levy on the August 7th ballot after a valid protest petition was filed following approval of a capital outlay resolution in February.

If approved by voters, the district would have the authority to levy up to 4.775 mills annually for five years for the capital outlay fund.

Currently, the Riverside school district is among only 12 districts in the state without a capital outlay levy.

The current source of revenue for the capital outlay fund is an annual transfer from the general fund budget.
