CHAMPION School officials took the final needed action to get a renewal 1.5-mill, five-year permanent improvement levy on the May primary ballot.
The Champion Board of Education on Monday gave the second needed reading for placing the levy on the May ballot.
Treasurer Laurena Rouan said the levy will generate about $125,000 annually for needed repairs at the Champion High School building for boilers, air conditioning, walls and windows.
“The levy dollars will all be designated for repairs and work at the high school. It was put on the ballot five years ago in 2016 and is now up for renewal,” she said.
