School Board Offers to Explain Tax Proposals to Voters
Ukiah elementary trustees and Superintendent Jack Simpson said they will attend public meetings and coffee klatches through next Tuesday to explain Proposition A for Pomolita improvements and Proposition B for future property needs. They noted the ballot wording is confusing and that the 25 cent tax rise actually equals a nine cent increase after county modifications and district recreation taxes are dropped. Eight district teachers resigned, including Bill Waley, George Barrington, Ann Wright, and Frank Tay, due to better pay elsewhere.
