Mason County Schools Budget Near Completion
Mason County School levy and budget are being prepared. County Superintendent Kenneth Shaffer says the complete levy and budget will be published next week as required by law. Local property values rose mainly from a Vanadium plant, increasing revenue for current schools by 17336. Utility value increases statewide yield uneven county gains, with Mason seeing only 25200 despite large utilities growth. The sinking fund reports no extra levies needed for bonds. A special school levy adds 23260, aiding auditorium gym costs at Wahama Point Pleasant and Hannan. State aid withholding of 28465 may force some counties to trim terms, but Mason can maintain a nine month term and fund the Point Pleasant high school gym.
