 While they passed a property-tax school levy on their third try in May 2005, a drop in funding from the state as well as other factors such as a spike in gas prices forced the school district to make more than 14 million dollars in reductions after passing the levy.In November 2006 they attempted to pass another levy, a 1% income tax, it was defeated.Fortunately, due to a relatively warm winter and several other items, they only needed to cut one million dollars out of the following year's budget.
