Chairman Mike Harris thinks voters will give full support to schools

Adair County School Board Chairman Mike Harris says non-recallable school taxes will go out with regular bills. Chairman predicts board will hold to its policy, if recall petition makes election necessary, and fight for passage. New tax would average only around $16 per year per person, Mr. Harris says. With tax, around $429,000 in Equalization Awards from state possibility; without it, District will not get the $429,000.If the Nickel Tax does not pass, the local District could lose $10 million in bonding power. Chairman says board will not need to hold any meeting before the Thursday, October 20, 2006 regular monthly meeting.

"Once people really understand why it is needed and how very little it will cost individual taxpayers," he said, "I think it will pass."
