School M&O Levy amount stays the same |
|
March 2, 2017 |
The big news on our schools these days is that
the Boundary School District 101 Board of
Trustees has voted not to raise the amount of
the M&O Levy that is up for vote on March 14.
In doing so, the school board has committed to
operating our schools for the next two years on
the same budget that it has had over the
previous two years, even though enrollment and
cost for basic necessities has begun to rise.
The end result is that property taxes that we
pay to support our local schools will not
increase with the passage of the levy on March
14.
I commend the school board members for
accomplishing this in the wake of continual cuts
in funding from the state. They have done their
job well and now it is up to us to do ours.
Please support our schools and "Vote Yes" on
March 14th. |
