Pomeroy Voters To Decide On School Tax Levy Renewal
The Pomeroy Board of Education announced a proposed renewal of the 1-mill school levy at the November 1943 election. The plan would extend the levy for three years to qualify for additional state funds under the School Foundation Program and avoid new taxes. The levy funds support operating expenses, with several school vacancies noted and ongoing repairs and painting projects at local schools.
