The Marion Center School Board will meet tonight and one of the topics on the agenda will be next year’s budget.
The budget on the agenda is the same as the budget presented in May, which stands at $29,077,518, and includes a tax increase of 1.5%, bringing real estate taxes to 12.1425 mils. Other budget-related areas up for adoption tonight include the Homestead-Farmstead Exclusion Resolution and the Installment Payment of School Real Property Taxes Resolution.
Several retirements are also up for approval tonight for Marion Center, including instructional aides Betsy Ferraro and Nancy Janosko, and teacher Lauren Brewer. The Marion Center meeting starts at 7:00.
The Indiana School Board will meet tonight as well, with some resignations and hirings on the agenda, including extra duty-extra pay assignments. The board will also look at necessary electrical repairs for Horace Mann elementary school, and a handwriting analysis contract with a handwriting expert and forensic document examiner to analyze graffiti at the Senior High School. The Indiana School Board meeting will also start at 7:00 PM at the district office, and will also be streamed online at www.iasd.cc.
