Trico considers tax referendum as input sought at meeting
Trico school district plans a 7 p.m meeting at the junior high media center to gauge public opinion on a potential tax increase referendum for November. A $1.15 to $1.20 per $100 assessed value hike could add about $383 yearly to a $100,000 home, with funds split among education, building, and transportation. The district has faced ongoing cuts and funding losses, issuing tax anticipation warrants this year and weighing working cash bonds, while board resignations and staffing changes also occurred.
