Tonight residents in the Colonial School District will get a chance to hear about a referendum set for June 4th calling for an increase in the property tax of 35 cents per $100 of assessed value.
Superintendent Dr. Dorothy Linn said that the district is trying to just maintain the status quo.
She said that 30 cents would go toward operations.
One penny would go toward curriculum, while four cents would shore up technology.
District officials will be on hand at Gunning Beford Middle School at 7 pm to take the public’s questions.
In February, voters rejected an earlier referendum calling for a 47 cent increase.
