18-Mill Restoration 2nd HOMES & BUSINESS ONLY

The school currently collects 16.6753 for approximately $1,500,000 operational budget from business
and 2nd Home owners.
If the 18-Mills approved in 1996 is restored to 18 from 16.6753 the district would collect approximately
$1,600,000. If not passed by 2015 the amount collected by the district would be $0
