At the latest Highland School Board meeting the board held a public hearing on the instructional support levy. The program is funded through a combination of property tax and an income surtax. The funds go into the general education fund. Hearing no arguments against renewal, the board proposed to renew the levy for the 2016-2017 school year and passed unanimously.
