Did you know that in the past, the Voted PPEL funds have been used to replace playground equipment at Wapello Elementary? While student fundraising has been the funding stream to replace aging and unsafe playground equipment at Wapello Elementary, the Voted PPEL funding stream can and has been used in the past to help pay for replacement equipment and its installation. Over time, the equipment on the playground must be replaced due to breakdown of the equipment, or it being deemed unsafe.
Playground equipment is not cheap, and it takes lots and lots of planning to make a major expenditure such as a piece of playground equipment. While student led fundraising is the main source of capital when replacing equipment, there are times that not all of the money has been raised to replace a piece of equipment that is in need of replacement, this is where the Voted PPEL can step in and assist in the replacement of playground equipment, it is an allowable expenditure under the Voted PPEL. Without the Voted PPEL Levy in place, these expenditures, like others that we have highlighted would have to come from the district’s general fund, which would most likely mean a reduction in staff or student-centered programs.
That is today's Voted PPEL Fact, so now you know!

12 Days! Just twelve days until the Voted Physical Plant and Equipment Levy Renewal Election that will be held on Tuesday, March 1, 2022, at the Briggs Civic Center in Wapello. The polls for this very important election will be open from 7:00 a.m. - 8:00 p.m.
Did you know that in the past, the Voted PPEL funds have been used to replace floor coverings in our attendance centers? At one point in time, Wapello Elementary had carpet in all classrooms throughout the building. Over time, it was found that the carpet was not the best choice for our classrooms due to many factors. The board decided to remove the carpet in a few classrooms each year and lay new floor tile. The tile has a longer life expectancy and can be thoroughly cleaned and disinfected daily, proving to be a better solution over the previously installed carpet. The replacement of the carpet with floor tile was an allowable expenditure using the Voted PPEL funding stream. Without the Voted PPEL Levy in place, these expenditures, like others that we have highlighted would have to come from the district’s general fund, which would most likely mean a reduction in staff or student-centered programs.

Did you know that in the past, the Voted PPEL funds have been used to purchase Lawn Care Equipment and Maintenance of that equipment? Lawn Care Equipment and the maintenance of that equipment is allowed under the rules for expenditures in the Physical Plant and Equipment Levy. The district owns its own lawn mowers, aerator, seeder, and a variety of other items used to care for all the grass and turf throughout the district. The district can also pay for the specialized products and the application of those products that are put on our fields to control weeds and pests to give our athletes the best playing surface that we can. Without the Voted PPEL Levy in place, these expenditures, like others that we have highlighted would have to come from the district’s general fund, which would most likely mean a reduction in staff or student-centered programs.
