Trico board to again discuss tax plan not vote this week
Trico school board will discuss placing a tax referendum on the November ballot but will not vote tonight. Superintendent Dennis Smith expects a possible vote at the July 15 meeting with August as the latest deadline for a year’s tax decision. The district has cut staff, borrowed funds and trimmed the education budget while facing continued revenue loss from mine closures and economic decline.
