Amherst School District residents are asked to replace a 0.55-mill operating levy with a 1-mill levy in a special election. The change would end the 0.55-mill levy by 1994 and offset potential state budget cuts, as library funding faces freezes and forecasters predict reductions.
Dworkin notes anticipated state cuts could reach 40 percent next year and explains the ballot will show an additional millage replacement levy. If approved, 0.55 mills would be removed, with voters in Ambhers School District eligible. Current levy raises about $79,084. a 1 mill levy would bring around $250,000 and cost about $24.50 yearly for a $100,000 home.
