During its April 13 board meeting, the Holley Board of Education adopted a $23,300,000 budget for the 2015-16 school year. If approved, the plan will result in zero tax levy increase to taxpayers, according to a district spokesperson.
When Holley residents go to the polls on May 19, they will be asked to vote on two additional propositions. The first is for the purchase of two full-size school buses, one wheelchair bus and one 30-passenger school bus at a cost not to exceed $355,000. The second authorizes the district to raise $108,072 to be used in support of maintenance and operations of the Community Free Library. A public hearing on the budget and propositions is scheduled for May 5 at 6 p.m. in the Board Room located in the District Office.
In addition, residents will be voting on three Board of Education seats. The three-year terms of office of current board members Mark Porter, John C. (Jack) Welch and Anne Winkley expire on June 30, 2015.
Additional budget information will be posted on the district website at www.holleycsd.org/budget.
Holley residents can vote on the school budget and Board of Education election on Tuesday, May 19 from 6 a.m. to 9 p.m. in the Holley Middle School/High School Foyer.
