Due to the passing of LB 1107 in 2021 you can now claim a percentage of your property tax paid to schools on your state income tax. In 2023, those who pay property tax will be able to claim 30% of their property taxes paid to schools when they file their state income tax.

One of the big questions that we are receiving is "What is the breakdown of costs for each project that is included in the bond election"? The projects listed were determined following 18 months of community town hall meetings and surveys.
Don't forget tonight Dr. L will be hosting a community meeting that will discuss survey results, projects, finances and estimates!
Where: Columbus Middle School Cafeteria
