Those opposed ...

Three of seven school board members voted against the budget due to a small tax increase for Ark City Schools. This story outlines their arguments.

School funding is a complicated, frustrating world when you're trying to balance needs of taxpayers and needs of educating our children - one of governments priorities. Don't envy being in the school board's position.

Although this school district, or college district, passed a budget that lowers the mill levy a bit, $29,000 worth. Looks like increased enrollment might have helped funding, allowing them to keep decrease the mill levy.
