Residents and business owners may be especially interested in what the Columbia Unit School District Board of Directors has scheduled for this coming Thursday evening, December 17th.First, the school board will be holding a public hearing regarding a tax levy increase to 15.81% on the following schedule:
6:45 p.m. (Tax Levy Hearing)
7:00 p.m. (Regular Board Meeting)
Later, the board is expected to name a new district superintendent during their regular meeting. Current superintendent Ed Settles announced in September that he was stepping down to become superintendent of the Jerseyville School District.
The district office has now moved to Columbia High School (77 Veterans Parkway), and the Board of Education meets in Room 114.
I, for one, am against any tax increase in the current economic conditions. Just like every family has had to tighten ones belt so should the school district.
