Okay, found out that this particular meeting is for the employees of the district only. The board will present the same information at public meetings which will be held at individual schools and supposedly the movie theater downtown. Those dates are to be announced soon.
In a nutshell the district is in deficit spending to the tune of approximately 3 million dollars. The board is asking for an increase in the educational fund of about eighty cents. In my particular case this would increase my taxes approximately $312 a year based on last year's tax bill. Apparently if the issue fails at ballot the district will be forced to make other drastic cuts.
