Expert Denies Bond Raising Levy Compared with Peers
The high school, growing 15 percent in four years, could fit a seven period day and add a senior high unit for 225 pupils. Sidney can finance bonds with a one mill levy rise, keeping the town’s mill levy among the lowest of nearby towns amid steady growth. A $192,000 bond would fund a north side ward school and central renovations, with modest tax impacts unless district valuation stalls. The Christmas Village bazaar by the Methodist church is set for December 11 at the church basement.
