District 9 to ask 20000 for next year’s school tax
At the annual meeting of school district No 9 it was voted to ask for 20000 tax money to run the school next year matching last year’s request. Some taxes remained unpaid so not all funds were received yet to cover outstanding warrants totaling over 2000. The board aims to clear warrants within the year and then consider levy reduction. The district also voted to sell the Ash Grove schoolhouse and other property, with ads to follow.
