Superintendent says taxpayers rejecting recent tax levies is part of the issue. Author: Alex Fees (KSDK) Updated: 8:02 PM CST February 3, 2021
ST. CHARLES COUNTY, Mo. The Francis Howell School Board is scheduled to vote Thursday on a plan to lay-off about 5% of the district s teachers - up to 65 positions - as part of budget cuts necessary to save $7 million. District officials say the move is necessary, in part, because district taxpayers have rejected three recent tax levies.
“These cuts are a combination of some things that have happened over past few years. As a district we ve seen three failed tax levies. We ve seen the ongoing rise in salaries for our staff. We ve seen some unexpected increases in our benefits costs, and of course the impacts of COVID this year have all added to it,” Superintendent Dr. Nathan Hoven said.
