On November 5th, residents of the Waterloo Community School District have the opportunity to vote on whether or not the WCSD should use their existing 1% statewide local sales tax to build a unified high school campus at the Waterloo Career Center. Authorizing the use of the 1% local option sales tax ensures that property taxes will not be raised to pay for the project.

​

We believe this will:

• Promote equity in education by leveling the playing field for every student, including those with special needs

• Increase competitiveness in areas like career readiness, extracurricular activities, and teacher recruitment

• Help to improve attendance and academic achievement 

• Create operational efficiencies through modernized facilities, streamlined operations, and sustainable infrastructure

• Provide safety features, emergency plans, and secure entry points, which are crucial for creating a safe learning environment for students and staff​
