R-5 Aims for Triple A Rating With District Budget Plans
The R-S district seeks a triple A rating after voters approve a district tax of 2.48 dollars per 100 dollars of assessed value. The plan funds teacher raises, new positions, and facility upgrades to reduce crowding, add kindergarten rooms, and improve science and drafting equipment.
