TAXES MAY RISE, FOOTBALL MAY GO UNDER BUDGET PLAN

The Roy-Hart school board adopted its spending plan for 2010-2011 at last night's board meeting. In response to the state's cut of $1.5 million in aid, the board will cut spending by 5 and a quarter percent. To do so, there will be 8 less faculty/staff positions and football & modified sports will be cut.

Despite those savings, the loss in revenues will still require a 5% increase in property taxes without further cuts.

A public hearing about the budget will be held on May 6th at 7:00 PM.
