Here is a copy of the “Quick Facts” document that is being distributed by officials in the Burlington Area School District in advance of Monday’s meeting of school district residents.
In the document, officials attempt to explain the forces at work on the current budget and, to some degree, the rationale for the decisions they’ve made up until this point.
Monday’s meeting, set for 7:30 p.m. in the Burlington High School gym, gives residents the opportunity to vote — as they would at the district’s annual meeting — on the tax levy for the current school year. In this instance, a group of residents petitioned for the right of residents to vote on whether to freeze this year’s tax levy at the 2010-11 level. The group launched the petition drive after the School Board declined to trim the proposed tax levy following the regular annual meeting in late August.
