Understanding the USD 251 Bond One Fact at a Time
FUN FACT #13: Investing in Our Future
Did you know?
The 2025–26 total school mill levies for several nearby districts are:
• USD 251 North Lyon County: 39.01 mills
• USD 243 Lebo-Waverly: 47.45 mills
• USD 253 Emporia: 57.68 mills
• USD 417 Morris County: 58.62 mills
• USD 330 Mission Valley: 61.57 mills
• USD 252 Southern Lyon County: 68.08 mills
Every school district is different. Each has its own community, students, property values, facilities, needs, and financial circumstances. A mill levy cannot tell the entire story of what a district invests in its schools.
What these numbers do show is that USD 251 currently has a lower school mill levy than several surrounding districts.
As we look at the future of USD 251, we have an opportunity to make an investment in our schools and our community.
This isn't about being like another district. It's about deciding what is right for USD 251 and investing in the future of our students and community.
