Almost 85% of school districts in Iowa have a VPPEL in place to help pay for maintenance and improvements.
Teamwork is a core value at Benton. Early outs on Wednesdays provide our staff with time for collaboration. Increasing capacity in the area of writing and Universal Design for Learning were two of the focuses within our system today.

There are tax calculators that help estimate the impact of the VPPEL on your property tax. They take pieces like the state property roll-backs into consideration. Want to get an estimate for your property? Our team at Central Office can help with that!
