Huntley Project School Board voted 5-0 this week to put a mill levy increase to the voters for approval on the upcoming election in May. It’s been 16 years since a successful Mill levy increase has been approved by the voters. In 2015, voters did not support a mill levy increase of $150,000 and also declined to support a mill levy increase of $75,000 in 2016. No mill levy increase has been requested from the school district since then. School Superintendent Mark Wandle indicated the last couple years that the school district has been mindful of the taxpayer’s money even during Covid times, but the school district has chosen to ask the taxpayers to support this upcoming permanent general fund mill levy request at Monday night’s monthly school board meeting. read more
