PCHS board approves resolution to place one-cent sales tax question on November ballot
Summary
The board voted to place a proposed one-cent sales tax question on the November ballot for Tazewell County, joining other county school boards considering the measure; the motion passed with President Ryan Wrigley recording the lone Nay vote.
Superintendent Danielle Owens told the board that all Tazewell County school districts were being asked to consider placing a one-cent sales tax question on the November ballot and that at least 51% of the county's school boards must approve placement for the question to appear. The board approved the resolution to place the question on the ballot on a motion by Terry Fischer, seconded by Stephen Huey; the motion passed with a single Nay from President Ryan Wrigley.
The resolution does not itself enact a tax; it only authorizes placement of the question on the ballot pending the majority of county boards taking the same action. The board did not record additional fiscal estimates or a district-specific revenue forecast at the March 23 meeting.
