4h agoThe Mount Vernon School District is holding a public hearing today on its proposed budget, which includes a 3.3% property tax levy increase.
District officials say the increase is necessary to cover union contracts and sustain programs such as athletics, pre-K, and after-school care.
The hearing comes after the recent announcement that 124 employees will lose their jobs at the end of the school year and three schools will close in June:
- Cecil H. Parker Elementary School
- The Leadership Academy
- Mount Vernon Honor Academy
Last week, officials confirmed that 84 teachers, teaching assistants, and administrators, along with 40 civil service employees, would be let go.
The hearing is scheduled for tonight at 6 p.m. at the Mount Vernon Board of Education.
The school budget vote is set for May 20.
