Harrison County Schools accepts levy rates at statutory meeting

At a statutory meeting, the Harrison County Schools board voted to accept the district’s levy agenda and the presented levy rates by voice vote after a brief public comment period drew no speakers, the presiding officer said.

The meeting included a single action item: a motion to accept the levy agenda and levy rates. The presiding officer moved to adopt the agenda and rates and an unnamed board member seconded the motion. The presiding officer said, "I so move." A board member responded, "Second." The board then called for the vote: "All those in favor, say aye." Responses of "Aye" were heard and the presiding officer announced, "Any opposed? Motion carries." The transcript does not record an exact roll-call tally; the approval was taken by voice vote.

The board left the public comment window open for several minutes but reported no members of the public came forward to discuss the levy rates. After the motion carried, the board took up and approved a motion to adjourn; that motion also was seconded and carried by voice vote.

Because the transcript records no levy amounts, effective dates or related budget detail, those particulars are not specified in this report.
