SCS seeks support for tax levy
SIDNEY Registered voters in the Sidney City Schools District are being asked to approve an earned income tax levy on the Tuesday, May 4, ballot. The .75% levy which is for 10 years will raise $3.3 million for the district if approved.
After three failed attempts at passing a property tax in 2020, the district conducted a survey asking residents which option income tax or property tax they would prefer to see on the ballot in May. The results showed residents preferred an income tax over the property tax. Sidney is the only school district in the county that doesn’t have an income tax levy in place.
