Board of Education Seeks Five Year Continuation of 20 Mill Rate
The Bessemer School Board asks voters on June 13 to renew the 20 mill levy for another five years without raising the rate. If denied, thirteen teachers must be fired, three maintenance staff released, salaries cut, Barber School closed, and library and services halted, saving about 38,765 dollars but harming educational quality. The board emphasizes no tax increase, only continuation of current funding to avoid drastic cuts and preserve faculty for potential reemployment.
