Voters in eight metro area school districts, including Grain Valley, will decide Tuesday if their districts will become part of the Metropolitan Community Colleges district, giving students from those districts access to nearly 50 percent lower tuition rates for MCC classes.
If approved, property owners would be assessed a 21-cent tax levy per $100 assessed value. For Grain Valley and Oak Grove voters in Jackson County, that equates to about $40 per year for the owner of a $100,000 home.
Voters in the Raymore-Peculiar, Harrisonville, Platte County, Smithville, Kearney and Liberty districts will also be voting on the question Tuesday. Each school district vote is separate from all others, and a simple majority is needed in any particular district to be attached to the MCC district.
