600: New Business

601: Public Hearing for Proposed Property Tax Levy

President, Jeffrey Boss, opened the public hearing for comments at 6:01PM.  Business Manager, Kerry Peyton presented the 25-26 Proposed Property Tax Levy that was published and mailed to taxpayers in the district. Since the State Legislature has not yet set the Supplemental State Aid rate for FY26 the district had to publish the scenario that gave them the highest levy rate because the board can only lower the levy rate between the first and second public hearing and this gives them the ability to make adjustments as decisions are made by the State. We are hopeful that State Aid will be set prior to our second public hearing on April 16th. There were no comments from the audients and no comments were submitted in writing to the Board Secretary ahead of the public hearing. The time being 6:08PM, President, Jeffrey Boss, closed the public hearing.

 

900: Adjournment

The time being 6:08PM it was moved by J Benesh, seconded by Michael to adjourn the meeting. Motion carried 5-0.
