Summary
The Oxford Academy & Central School Board amended its prior resolution to fix the 2024–25 school and library tax levy at $5,729,073, set town-specific rates and levies, and directed tax collection to run Sept. 1–Oct. 31, 2024 (first month penalty-free; 2% interest in second month).
Oxford Academy & Central School District trustees voted to amend a prior resolution and fix the 2024–2025 school and library tax levy at $5,729,073. The motion to approve resolutions G1–G2 was moved by John Godfrey and seconded by Nathaniel Emerson and passed unanimously (Yes-5, No-0). The district’s warrant directs tax collection to begin Sept. 1, 2024, and end Oct. 31, 2024, establishing a 60-day effective period for the warrant and prescribing a first month penalty-free collection period followed by a 2% interest charge in the second month.
The resolution lists town-by-town equalized rates and levies, for example: Oxford town total rate 36.773384 with a levy of $3,261,925.28; Preston total rate 52.658483 with a levy of $761,833.45; and a districtwide taxable base of $164,128,424. The resolution cites the Real Property Tax Law and related statutory sections (as spelled out in the warrant) and directs the tax collector to issue bills within 10 days of the start of collection and to return an accounting at the warrant’s expiration. The board approved the motion without dissent.
