Valley View Levy Seeks 3-Mill Increase On June Ballot

Valley View district voters will be asked to approve a 3 mill operating levy increase in June. The move follows a unanimous school board decision to place the levy with two existing operating levies for renewal. If approved, the tax would begin July, with a questioned need for 3 mills given a $147,000 1976 deficit and potential state funds to offset shortfall. The board also approved 1976 appropriations totaling 2,716,292 and authorized a 100,000 borrowing against anticipated state money, bringing bank borrowings to 200,000.
