Dear Strasburg C-3 Families and Community Members,
On behalf of the Strasburg C-3 School District, we would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to each of you for your support and the successful passage of Proposition K.I.T.S. (Keep It The Same).
Your vote to approve the transfer of $0.6400 from the debt service levy to the operating levy sends a powerful message: our community values education, supports our teachers, and believes in the future of our students.
Thanks to your support, we will now be able to:
✔️ Increase teacher salaries to meet the new $40,000 minimum required by Senate Bill 727
✔️ Retain high-quality educators and stay competitive with surrounding districts
✔️ Avoid staffing or program cuts that could have impacted our students' educational experiences
✔️ Continue providing strong and enriching learning opportunities for all students
Most importantly, this was all achieved without raising taxes. Proposition K.I.T.S. was a simple reallocation of existing funds—not a tax increase—and your understanding and trust in that message made all the difference.
In small, rural districts like ours, community support isn’t just appreciated—it’s essential. Your continued commitment helps keep Strasburg C-3 a place where students thrive and where educators feel valued and supported.
Thank you for standing with us, believing in our mission, and helping us "keep it the same"—while making meaningful improvements for our future.
With gratitude,
Chrystal
