Board of Education faces issues on tax recall By Darrell Treece, Superintendent, Adair Co. Schools Assuming 755 of the 1600 signatures on the nickel Recall Petition are certified (which is almost a certainty), the Board of Education will have to make the decision of what to do about putting the issue on the ballot. They have 3 options:
We have not yet gone door-to-door or bought radio or newspaper ads to get the message out. However, should the Board make the decision to proceed with a special election, we will use every avenue available to provide the facts. Some reasons to consider proceeding now are:
If the Board decides to proceed now, there are many other facts that will be presented in the news media, by personal contacts and by public forums. For example, one quarter ($0.25) a day will pay the property tax on $163,000 of assessed value. A $100,000 property would be $0.15 a day, $50,000 would be $0.08 per day and $25,000 be just $0.04 per day. Four cents per day!! And NONE of the tax can go for salaries, books, supplies, busses, etc. only for building and maintaining facilities. Many, many supporters have urged us to proceed now. Many who signed the petition said they were not necessarily against the tax but just felt that the people needed the opportunity to vote on the issue. If the Board decides to proceed, the students deserve the pennies per day that it would cost each of us ( including the Board members and superintendent). We urge your support. Darrell Treece, Superintendent, Adair County Schools` This story was posted on 2009-10-28 14:42:32
