Colton school seeks annual operating levy

Colton School District will seek its annual maintenance and operations levy for 2018 at $532,165, for a rate of $3.93 per $1,000 in assessed property valuation.

The levy funds would go to day-to-day costs for operating the school.

This year's levy represents a $0.15 per $1,000 increase over last year, to allow for inflation and increased program and facility costs.

The Colton District budget is now made up of 68 percent state funding and 32 percent from the local district.

The current levy, passed last February, expires in December 2017.
