Attention Willow Creek School Voters:
School Districts were given a 3% inflationary budget increase at the current Legislative Session. This reduces the amount we are asking to levy by $9989.99. The Preliminary Budgets were not sent out before the ballots were printed. The ballot you receive will still read the levy amount as $17,883.77, but the district can only levy $7893.78 if approved. The levy amount is approximately 12.23 mills and will cost $13.41 per year on a $100,000 house and $49.53 per year on a $300,000 house.
Reminder that there is no school on Friday, April 18th or Monday, April 21st. Enjoy your Easter Break!!
