Holcomb USD 363 weighs mill increase to match revenue
The Holcomb school board and Finney County officials discussed raising the district mill levy to offset a $20 million drop in valuation. USD 363 would add 1 to 2 mills to preserve last year’s funding, with the base 20 mills for the general fund and 21.252 mills for local option, capital, and bonds. Superintendent Demitry Evancho said the plan aims to keep the same funding and avoid state shortfalls, while acknowledging public acceptance may be needed. The district, facing eight fewer staff, expects to publish its 2011 budget by late July and hold a budget hearing August 9.
