The Marshall School Board batted around several possibilities relating to the district’s tax-levy rate during its meeting on Tuesday, August 25.

Superintendent Dr. Carol Maher laid out several options. After the board approved the adoption to utilize Amendment 2 to increase the rate to $2.75, Dr. Maher said the board can set the rate at any amount up to $3.23.

On a $100,000 house, the lower rate would cost the taxpayer about $11 and the higher rate would be about $22 per year.

Board President Dr. Erin Meyer asked Dr. Maher how the district was adversely affected by recent rollbacks.

Dr. Maher further clarified.

After a lengthy discussion, board member Bryon Jacques made a motion to set the rate at $3.20 per $100 of assessed valuation of real and personal property. It was seconded and approved by the board.
