Preble Shawnee pursues general operating levy
By Anthony Baker - abaker@aimmediamidwest.com
PREBLE COUNTY Preble Shawnee Superintendent Dr. Matt Bishop once again urged community members to support the school district’s upcoming income tax levy.
The five-year, .75-percent levy, which would cost workers in the district less than a dollar for every $100 of income, has been defeated at the polls repeatedly since 2015, most recently in April and November of 2020. If the current levy passes in May, collections would begin in Jan. 2022, according to Bishop.
“Then it’ll be up to the taxpayers in five years to either keep it or let it roll off,” Bishop said.
