County Proposes Tax Plan to Equalize School Burdens
The county court considers a plan to raise a higher county levy next year to ease inequities in school taxation across districts. Data show 16 large districts educate 70 percent of county children while 6 million dollars of property lie outside districts and 4 million outside recent district taxes. Pendleton and Milton districts illustrate variance in district valuation per teacher and salaries, prompting moves to shift levy authority from districts to county level.
