South Winneshiek VPPEL, September 8 2026

Posted: July 27, 2026 at 8:40 PM
On Tuesday, September 8, 2026, South Winn CSD residents will vote on a Physical Plant and Equipment Levy (PPEL).

Why is this vote needed?

  • Last spring, Iowa lawmakers made changes to SAVE that redirect a larger portion of the sales tax revenue away from school infrastructure.
  • That decision created unexpected short-term impacts that were unknown to the district and voters when the bond referendum was approved.

What the proposal does:

  • We are asking voters to consider changing our district’s voted PPEL limit on September 8 to provide financial flexibility to offset the funding shortfall and ensure the project can continue as expected.
  • The proposal is designed to NOT raise overall property tax rates.
