 Scott County Schools Look To Extend Local Option Sales And Services Tax Funding from the county-wide Local Option Sales and Services Tax (LOSST) allows the Davenport Community Schools and other public school districts in the county to effectively plan needed capital improvements to our schools – enabling us to provide a safe and supportive environment for the thousands of students we serve every day. The LOSST is a one-cent sales tax is a voter-approved funding source which can help to pay for new construction, significant capital improvements, technology upgrades, and transportation costs. A ‘frequently asked questions’ document has been developed to provide additional details and a flyer featuring the actual ballot language is also available. The current LOSST was initially approved by the voters of Scott County in 1999. The ballot for March 4th is for a ten-year extension of this measure . . . it is NOT a new tax. A list of past projects paid for with LOSST funding since its initial approval is included on this website, as is a list of projected projects for the next funding period. In that funds raised through the LOSST are restricted in how they can be spent, each district in the county has also developed a Revenue Purpose Statement which outlines the type of projects which could be funded with LOSST dollars. The measure will be on the ballot for all voters in Scott County on March 4, 2008. Normal polling locations and times will apply. The Davenport Community Schools are hosting a number of upcoming public sessions for families and community members to learn more about the LOSST extension:
