Reminder: The annual Walk, Bike and Roll to School day is Wednesday, October 8. East, Enoch, Fiddlers, North, South, Iron Springs and Parowan elementary students are encouraged to walk, bike or roll (scooter) to school. Students normally bused to school will be given the opportunity to walk from a designated drop off. Three Peaks and Escalante Valley will recognize the day with safety talks. Parents are encouraged to review safety tips with their students. We also ask the community to be extra alert as there will be more students walking than normal. We look forward to seeing students actively participating in this day of recognition.
The tax on a $431,000 residence would increase from $630.08 to $699.77, which is $69.69 per year. If the proposed budget is approved, the district would receive an additional $2,465,071 in property tax revenue per year as a result of the tax increase.
Over the next few days, facts about the proposal, including how the funds will be used will be shared here. You can also read more by clicking this link: https://www.irondistrict.org/page/truth-in-taxation.
ICSD is one of many districts facing this process this year. However, it is proposing one of the lowest increases.
Before the sun came up, volunteers gathered at the district office to partner with students for the special shopping trip. Students needing a little additional clothing help were recommended by elementary school administrators.
Students and their shopping volunteer boarded two school buses to make the trip to St. George. Each had about $150 to spend on pants, shirts, shoes, socks and more. The opportunity allows some at-risk students to begin the school year with clothing similar to their peers.
One volunteer said her student was happy with everything he tried on. “He came out of the dressing room and said, ‘I love it,’” she said.
Another volunteer noted that the boy she shopped with said he had never owned clothing from anywhere other than WalMart or the thrift store.
As students exited the store, each was able to choose a backpack filled with supplies. Back at the district office, they couldn’t wait to show their parent or guardian the items they were able to pick up.
The event is sponsored by the Iron County School District Foundation. Student and Family Support Mentor Tracy Womack said the experience will make a real difference for students. The Foundation plans to make it an annual event and hopes to raise more funds to offer the opportunity to even more students next year.
Individuals or businesses can donate to sponsor a child at https://sfnd.io/backtoschool. All donations are tax deductible.
