Voters in the Eastwood School District will decide a 1 percent income tax renewal issue on the May 4 ballot.
In his community message, Brent Welker, district superintendent, is reminding residents the tax is a renewal and not a new tax and is the district’s sole levy for operating expenses.
“It’s important for residents to remember this is our only operating levy,” he said last week.
The income tax represents about 13 percent of the district’s revenue and last year collected $2.3 million, according to the administration. It is levied on earned income.
