Public School Election on March 12 Planned
The Board of Education seeks voter approval to levy 24 mills for the School House Fund to fund constructing remodeling or repairing of school buildings. It would raise about $4,000 yearly and funds would be reserved for emergencies though no immediate project is planned. The measure would keep Pella's levy below county averages. The proposition appears on the regular school election agenda for the second Monday in March.
