The school-related tax burden of Montana City residents is set to fall even if they approve two new levies on ballots due May 6.
After months of preparation, the Montana City School District hopes voters accept the new levies adding nearly $90,000 in school funding. The first levy, for $48,000, aims to prevent staff and program reductions and boost the general fund, which finances many school initiatives.
The second levy increases the technology fund from around $40,000 to $78,750. Tech prices have risen since 2016 when the fund was last approved, said Superintendent Tony Kloker. This increase will ensure students’ continued access to online coursework.
