SIDNEY The second resolution needed to place an income tax levy on the May ballot was approved Tuesday night by the Sidney City Schools Board of Education.
The proposed income tax levy would raise $2,609,518 annually for the district if approved by voters.
“This is the second of two required resolutions to place the levy on the May ballot,” said Treasurer Mike Watkins.
The ditricted tried three times in 2020 to get a property tax passed for the district. Each try was unsuccessful.
“This levy has nothing to do with the cuts the board will have to make,” said newly-elected board President Jason Schaffner.
