Taxpayers Question Pay of Marion School Administrators
Marion taxpayers challenged administrator salaries as the Marion Independent School District faces a 2000-01 budget with nearly 14.8 million in expenditures and a 1.25 per thousand tax rate hike. The owner of a 100000 dollar home would pay about 68.56 more, with 75 cents of the increase earmarked to cover a 1998-99 special education deficit.

Marion Board hears taxpayer questions on salaries and admin roles
Subra urged the Marion board to oppose tax increases and questioned a 41 percent rise in administrator pay over three years. He asked for concrete achievement proof from Superintendent William Jacobson’s full-time status next year, while Judy Chapman challenged the need for a full-time superintendent and assistant. Norton said some questions would be addressed at the April 10 work session.
