BOONE, Iowa—The United School Board will have a ballot question for voters in the March 3rd Special Election. For United, the ballot is simply the updated Revenue Purpose Statement needed to continue to use the State of Iowa Secure and Advanced Vision Education Fund or SAVE. SAVE is the state’s one-cent sales tax distributed to schools for specific purposes. The Revenue Purpose Statement is a requirement to receive those funds.
The Boone County Auditor’s Office released the official announcement for the Special Election this week.
PUBLIC NOTICE is hereby given to the qualified electors of United Community School District, in the County of Boone, the State of Iowa, that a special election of said School District has been called for Tuesday, March 3, 2020 at which the voters will vote on the following public measure:
Precinct Count will be used for all precincts in the county. Public testing of the precinct count equipment will begin at 9:00 a.m. on February 20th at the Boone County Courthouse and will continue until finished.
