Ballot Questions Discussed

International Falls City council has given its support to two questions on a ballot for voters of Independent School District 361 next month.

The district is asking voters to support an extension of the current school tax levy for another ten years and to support an increase the general education revenue by $70 per pupil for ten years.

Superintendent Don Langdon says this would help offset fees paid by students for participating in youth activities.

"By reducing our fees to an economic standard that I think the community and parents can live with," says Langdon, "I think we'll be able to sustain and even grow our student population in terms of their participation."

The vote will be held November 3rd.
