I hope you are doing well and are enjoying the nice fall weather. As you may know, there will be a voted Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL) on the ballot for Hinton schools on Tuesday, November 2.
In advance of that vote, we are hosting a public forum to provide information on the PPEL and to answer questions from our community members. This forum will be part of the School Board meeting on Monday, October 18, at 7 p.m. in the library of our 4-12 Building.
A PPEL is a voter-approved levy that generates funds a district can use for infrastructure and equipment repairs, purchases, and improvements. Funds may be used only for these purposes.
If residents approve the voted PPEL, the district would target the following projects:
Facilities condition study for future school planning
One-to-one technology initiative (providing a device for each student)
Bus maintenance and replacement
Other school vehicle maintenance and replacement
Parking improvements and additions
Safety and security equipment
Playground equipment (grades 4-6)
Refurbishing of middle school locker rooms
ADA accessibility improvements across campus
While not all these projects may be completed, they are the items we have deemed to be the highest priority.
If you have questions about the November 2 PPEL vote, please attend Monday's School Board meeting. You can also visit https://www.hintonppel.org. As always, thank you for your support of HCSD and the students we serve!
