Fairfax Faces School Tax Hike to Close Budget Gap
Fairfax trustees hear a proposed local levy raise from 90 cents to 1.25 per 200 dollars of assessed value to cover a district budget of 103,976 with only 700 in reserve. Superintendent Ricklefs warns the plan may leave little emergency margin as per-student costs rise and postwar birth rate shifts affect revenue. No action taken.
