Annual Meeting of Franklin School Board this Wednesday

This Wednesday, the Franklin School Board holds its Annual Meeting at 6:00 p.m. at the Education and Community Center, 8255 W. Forest Hill Ave. The community is invited to attend and vote on the proposed 2008/09 tax levy. 

The budget prepared by the administration calls for a 3.77% school tax levy increase. I submit it could be better but it sure beats the 11.7% increase from last year.

Let’s hope we can avoid the circus that occurred at last year’s meeting.

Good luck in just keeping it at 3.77%.  Oak Creek-Franklin just passed a 9% levy increase, using the tired excuse that if they don't spend every penny authorized now, they won't be able to continue to spend the additional dollars later.
