To the Versailles Community,
Next week on Tuesday the 5th is our Annual Evening with the Arts. In addition to the many, many wonderful art and music displays and performances, we want to welcome the greater community out for tours of the new finished spaces in the building. Guided tours will be provided at 4:30, 5:30, 6:30, & 7:30.
To join a tour just meet in the High School gym at any of those times. We will be showing off the new Band room, STEM lab, the Ag shop, and the new weight room.
Additionally, staff from Midmark will be joining to speak about the partnership that is being built and supported to expand Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics through real world problem solving as we work to prepare our students for the future.
Versailles Exempted Village School District income tax renewal facts
Issue 9 is on the ballot to renew a 1.0% income tax that provides funding to Versailles Exempted Village School District. The purpose of this fact sheet is to provide you with financial and factual information related to the 1.0% income tax renewal. This fact sheet is not intended to advocate for or against the passage of the tax renewal.
The 1.0% income tax renewal will generate approximately $2.596 million to the district in the first year of collections. The tax renewal will not increase taxes. Rather, it will maintain the income tax that has been paid by taxpayers since 2012. This funding is on a 4-year renewal cycle:
The income tax was initially passed in 2004 at 3/4%
l Renewed in 2008
l Increased to 1.0% in 2012
l Renewed in 2016
l Renewed in 2020
l Is up for renewal in 2024
Per the current 5-year forecast, funds generated from this renewal represents approximately:
l 14.2% of the total $18,187,524 operating budget for 2025
l 15% of the total $17,300,903 in revenue for 2025
l 14.9% of the total $17,382,585 in expenditures for 2025
This is a “Current Expenses” renewal. This is not for a new project or new expenditure. It is to maintain the programming that is currently in place. Collections would begin on January 1, 2025 and continue to collect for the 4 years of this cycle.

Good evening Tigers. This is Superintendent Dave Harmon with a fun and exciting message of community engagement to the Versailles community.
This evening we are proud to announce "The Versailles Voices Project"
This is an open invitation to all Versailles stakeholders...Versailles staff, students, and community members. We want to hear from all perspectives on this.
Below are a few examples of what will become posts which we will share regularly on our Social Media channels as well as the Versailles Schools app. We are looking for short quotes that you would love to share with the community as a whole about what you love about the School District as well as the greater Versailles community.
There is not a "correct" format for your response. We just want the comments to be genuine and to come from your heart, but we've provided a few example "starters" to get you thinking about what this might look like for you, if you choose to participate.
Click the link below to participate. Please Share so others can participate. Please encourage others to participate as well. Let's make this go viral! We can't wait to see where this goes!
