Wilmington considers 2016 17 tax hike and budget vote
The Wilmington Area School Board weighs a 1.33 mill tax increase for 2016 17 to fund the district in Lawrence County with a June 20 final budget vote set. The pre budget vote passed 8 1 with Jacob Berlin dissenting. The plan would raise about 148 annually for Lawrence County residents while Mercer County residents would see a net tax decrease. The proposal includes .69 mill to exceed the state index and 1.33 mill with state approval to raise 583 754 and avoid red ink by 2018 19. No teachers would be furloughed. Vacancies would be filled by attrition and a maintenance supervisor position would be left vacant.
