The Bluffton school board will act on legislation to place a one-half percent income tax renewal levy on the 2013 ballot at its Dec. 17 meeting.

The current three-year income tax levy expires Dec. 31, 2013. It generates $600,000 for the district. If placed on the ballot and passed by voters it would extend the tax beginning Jan. 1, 2014, and would continue for three years.

Voters first approved the one-half percent tax in 2010. Collection began Jan. 1, 2011.

In other action, the board will act on the purchase of a 2014 school bus from Cardinal Bus Service. The anticipated price tag is $82,830.
