The New Diana Board of Trustees in June adopted an M&O budget commiserate to a tax rate of $1.11. This is an increase of 7 cents from last year’s rate of a $1.04. The proposed M&O (Maintenance & Operating) tax rate increase triggers a Tax Ratification Election or TRE which will also be held on the general election date of Tuesday, November 7th. The previous $1.04 tax rate has remained the same for the past ten years. The revenue raised by the additional 7 cents will support increased district need as the legislature continues to place unfunded burdens on the local school districts.
