Avon schools seek 5.9 mill levy on May ballot
Avon school board votes to place a 10 year 5.9 mill levy on the May 4 ballot to cover a projected shortfall. Officials say without the $4.45 million yearly raise, the district would face deficits through 2014 and possible cuts to core programs. House values, student growth, and local economic strains drive the plan as board members urge voter support.
