The Ranger Nation, Strong Foundation plan aims to address the district's financial challenges, enhance student education, and retain and attract quality teachers and staff. If approved on Nov. 5, the 10-year, $1.5 million operating levy would help stabilize our budget, maintain class sizes, support vocational and technical education, and ensure essential student support services.

On Nov. 5, Crosby-Ironton School District is asking voters to consider an operating levy referendum to stabilize district funding and preserve high-quality education. If voters approve the referendum, a home valued at $300,000 would see an estimated property tax increase of $21 per month, starting in 2025.
