Rural school district seeks 22 cent tax boost for 1965 66
Directors of the Greater Bennington School District vote to set a total tax rate of 8.52 for the next fiscal year starting July 1. The 7.67 supports current operating expenses and 0.85 covers Mt Anthony Union High School District assessment. Taxpayers will approve the rate at the June 24 meeting. The proposal relies on a grand list of 43 000 and projects 366 360 income with 47 000 state aid and 9 000 unexpended balance. Tuition rises push total high school costs from 65 400 to 82 784 while salaries climb due to higher base pay and more teachers. Maintenance and debt service funding falls.
