Lakeville Schools to Talk About Tax Levy This Week

The Lakeville Area Public Schools will hold a special work session at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 13 to discuss a proposed property tax levy.

Details surrounding the proposed tax levy discussion were unavailable however district officials had stated to Lakeville Patch last week that they were not planning to seek a levy for the upcoming year. Those comments were made before the work session was scheduled.

That figure is the highest in a decade. Lakeville was not listed in the survey. The notification deadline for district’s that are planning to seek a property tax levy is Friday, Sept. 16.

The work session will be followed by a regularly-scheduled school board meeting at 7 p.m.and will feature a district communications update and a 2011-2012 student enrollment update.

Both meetings will be held at the located at 8670 210th Street West.
