Shenango Township residents face a 0.13 mill tax increase as the school board, in an 8-1 vote with Denise Palkovich dissenting and Audrey Micaletti voting by Skype, introduced the 2011-12 spending plan totaling 15.5 million dollars. The plan raises the millage from 11.56 to 11.79, a 2 percent rise yielding about 85 thousand dollars, while five staff positions are slated for cuts to save 394 thousand dollars amid projected state subsidy reductions. The district notes it still has the lowest taxes in the county.
