Unofficial Results: On Tuesday, the proposed bond referendum for the Panorama Community School District will fall short of the 60% voter approval required to pass.
Unfortunately, we will not be moving forward with the proposed improvements at our elementary and secondary schools.
The School Board and administration will continue to explore potential solutions to address the challenges that our students and staff face every day. We will continue to engage with the community as we move forward with this process.

For a $250,000 home, the tax impact would be approximately $222.91 per year (or $18.58 a month). For agricultural property, the impact would be $2.30 per acre in Dallas County, $2.03 in Guthrie County, and $2.69 in Greene County.
Panorama CSD currently has a cumulative levy rate of $10.50 per $1,000 of taxable property value. That figure is below the district’s 18-year average of $13.10—and among the lowest in our area. IT'S TIME TO INVEST IN RURAL IOWA!
