The Mid-Prairie School Board took action on general obligation bonds and the instructional support levy at their recent meeting.

A redemption of the general obligation school bonds dated August 1, 2014 was brought to the board for action. The redemption allows for the debt service levy to cap at the maximum $2.70 per $1,000 of assessed valuation. The board approved the resolution unanimously. Superintendent Mark Schneider also presented the instructional support levy options for board extension of five years, or a public election to extend for 10 years. For the board to approve a five-year extension, it requires two resolutions with a public hearing. It also includes that citizens have the right to petition for a public election should they desire. The board approved to begin the five-year extension process on the current levy rate which is funded by a combination of property tax and income surtax.
