VC tax levy hike projected to be less than half a percent
By JANE ANDERSON
The tax levy would go up by less than
half a percent if voters approve next
year’s Valley Central proposed budget
in May, according to numbers presented
Monday to the Board of Education.
A total of $57,610,236 would need to be
gathered through taxes in the 2016-2017
school year, an increase of $275,781 or 0.48
percent from this year’s levy.
Assistant Superintendent for Business
Lisa Raymond suggested boosting the
levy with $250,000 from capital interfund,
which would lower the levy increase to
0.04 percent. Some board members said
it may be premature to finalize the levy
until state aid numbers are solidified
and until it’s known whether the district
will get its Gap Elimination Aid funding
restored.
The budget itself comprises three
components: Administrative, Capital and
Program. The
