Public Hearing on Instructional Support Levy
Jan McDanolds and Linda Rouse spoke about the Instructional Support Levy.  Concerns raised were whether or not the public hearing notice was in a legal format and whether or not the district should have to publish the public notice also in the Moravia newspaper.  The board assured them that they would seek guidance from the attorney on both of those items.  Other concerns were what the district intended to use the funds for.  The board spoke about the fact that they would like to improve non-certified staff salaries in the future.  It is the intention to keep the tax rate consistent.  The discussion also turned to whether or not the district was being transparent about all of the improvement projects and what all the district’s money is being spent on.
