Niles may see levy, as superintendent is granted raise

NILES — The treasurer of the city school district warned that the district could face a 12-mill levy this year due to projected revenue losses.

Linda Molinaro, who presented her five-year financial forecast Thursday night, said revenues for the current fiscal year and the next four are flat to decreasing.

“We see no additional income,” Molinaro told the board of education. “We’ll need 12 [additional] mills to operate at our current and anticipated levels without significant budget cuts.”

The news was not all bad for Superintendent Rocco Adduci, however. The board unanimously voted to rehire Adduci to a two-year contract, effective Aug. 1. Adduci, who currently earns $87,647 per year, will receive a 2 percent increase the first year and 2.75 percent the second, which will increase his salary to more than $92,000.
