Williamsburg Votes for 2.5 Mill Tax Levy Election
Williamsburg school board voted 5 to 0 to hold a special election on September 26 for a 2.5 mill tax levy to avert a financial crisis after enrollment fell from 1220 to 1194. A citizens meeting is set for Thursday night at the high school Messer Auditorium to explain the $33,000 budget cut and levy need. If rejected again, as many as three of 70 teachers could be cut next year and class sizes rise. The levy would not raise taxes due to a state financing law reducing the district levy by 3.9 mills this year.
