Levy talk tonight

By Meagan Engle | Monday, July 14, 2008, 01:34 AM

The Carlisle Board of Education invites all community members to attend a special meeting today to discuss a possible future levy attempt.

Attendees will get information district finances, possible time tables for a levy attempt and information on what cuts would be made if a levy is not passed, said board Vice President James Campbell.

Even the type of levy might be discussed, but the board is looking at an emergency, 5-year property tax levy.

Carlisle has made about $919,000 in cuts to achieve a balanced budget and will have about a $5,400 positive balance at the end of the upcoming school year. But even with the cuts, the district will go back into deficit spending for the 2009-10 school year.

Carlisle currently collects about $1.8 million annually from a 1 percent income tax levy approved by voters in 2003. The district also receives the state-required 20-mill property tax automatically granted to every Ohio public school district.

The meeting is at 6 p.m. July 14 in the choir room of Carlisle High School at 250 Jamaica Road.
