There will be a special school board meeting Wednesday at 6:30 pm in the school library. The purpose of the meeting is to discuss school finances and discuss rescinding the motion for a bond election or proceeding with the May 10th vote.
The school is projected to lose $588,000 in state aid next year, which will result in a property tax levy increase of approximately 15 cents (from $1.00 to $1.15) for next year.
The school is also on a waiting list for the $330,000 low interest construction bond allocation that I was expecting to receive.
The classroom space is needed, but the time may not be right to ask the taxpayers for more money.
