Hinton Voted PPEL

PPEL is short for Physcial Plant and Equipment Levy and it is a tax that generates additional revenue the school can use for repairs, equipment and school improvements. The voted PPEL can range from $.67 to $1.34 and runs for a term of 10 years. We are in our fifth year of our current term which ends in 2026.

The current PPEL generates $172,681 in funds and approximately $120,000 of those funds go towards paying off the Wellness Center. We have limited funds for other necessary school projects. The Wellness Center will be paid off in five years. The current VPPEL will expire in 2026 unless it is renewed at that time.

We anticipate from our budget preparation that the increase could be flat to $.10 per $1,000 depending on district income tax paid which won’t be out until March 1. Below we are showing it projected as a one cent increase.

• Facilities Study for Future School Planning $25,000 to $35,000
• One to One Initiative (Technology Device for each student) $50,000 a year
• Bus $125,000
