School board will act on two 2016 renewal levies on Monday
On Monday, Bluffton school board will consider action to eventually place two renewal levies on the March 15, 2016, ballot.
The levies are:
• Three-year renewal for the school’s permanent improvement percent income tax levy, which expires Dec. 31, 2016.
• Ten-year renew of the Bluffton Public Library’s one mill (1.0) levy for the purpose of maintaining current level of resources and services. It also expires on Dec. 31, 2016.
The school income tax levy is projected to generate $700,000 annually for the school district. In 2010 voters in the district approved the first renewal of that income tax levy by a 977 for to 479 against margin. In 2013 voters approved the levy renewals by 556 for and 248 against margin.
Several additional items are on Monday’s agenda and they are listed in the attachment at the bottom of this story.
