Howland assembly

HOWLAND

School officials are pledging that the money from the levy will be used to strengthen education and learning and to allow the district to make progress in providing students with up-to-date technology, textbooks and security and safety upgrades.

The funds would allow for all-day, every-day kindergarten. The district will aim to retain teachers and stop student fee increases.

The levy would cost the owner of a $100,000 home $136.50 per year.
