The Ottawa High School property tax levy for next year would be $13.9 million, if the levy request put on file last night all comes in. Supt. Mike Cushing says that’s up from $13.3 million received this year.
The school board also plans to borrow $5.2 million through a working cash bond issue. That money will pay for some building improvements, including installing air conditioning. Cushing says that project won’t count as life-safety work, so the money can’t come from the life-safety fund.
