GMR School Board Placing Increased Levy Question on a Ballot

Election will be held on August 13

Seeing its school face statutory operating debt (SOD), Greenbush-Middle River School taxpayers will have an opportunity to directly address its financial situation at the ballot box this summer, specifically on August 13, 2024. By unanimous vote at a May 29 special morning meeting, the GMR School Board officially approved a levy question that is asking district residents to increase its general education revenue by $925 per pupil.

If approved, the proposed levy would last for 10 years beginning with taxes payable in 2025. This levy would provide a net increase in total annual revenue of $200,265, according to information provided by Ehlers Public Finance Advisors.
