SIDNEY A resolution of necessity was approved during Tuesday’s Sidney City School Board of Education meeting. The resolution was the first step in putting an income tax levy on the ballot which would raise $2,609,518 annually for the district, said Treasurer Mike Watkins.
“The resolution will go to the Ohio Department of Taxation which will verify what it takes to raise that amount,” aid Watkins.
