Central Schools to Seek Tax Renewal on March 5

The Central Community School Board is asking voters to renew a 10-year, 32.50-mill property tax on March 5 that is dedicated to funding the general operations of the school system and maintenance of the school district’s facilities.

The school funding pro-position is not a new tax, and it will not increase what taxpayers currently pay.

Central voters originally dedicated 38.45 mills in 2007 to pay for the school district’s general operations and maintenance. Since that time, school board officials have lowered the millage rate to 32.50 mills to account for business and residential growth.  The board is requesting renewal of the lowered millage rate.

The dedicated property millage currently provides $4.37 million each year.  The bulk is spent on general operations, teacher and staff salaries, and maintenance of the district’s campuses, while about $800,000 is used for building renovations, repairs and on-going maintenance projects.

“The revenue from this tax lays the foundation for learning here,” according to Supt. Mike Faulk.
