Show Notes
Frenchtown School District in Montana faces a critical vote on May fifth for a seven hundred fifty-nine thousand nine hundred sixteen dollar operational mill levy. Superintendent Les Meyer explains the urgent need to maintain the general fund amidst declining enrollment, soaring costs, and the end of one-time grants. Utilities, repairs, and insurance costs have surged, and aging buildings are taking a toll. The district is already cutting staff, but failing this levy could mean cutting student programs. Despite enrollment dips and cost hikes, locals have supported the schools before. Taxpayers frustration with rising property taxes is understood, but this vote directly impacts student services. Early estimates for these levies cause confusion due to dropping taxable values, and the district hopes the community will step up on May fifth.
