Litchfield School Board Meeting
The Litchfield School Board held its truth-in-taxation hearing last night. The Board certified the 2024 property tax levy at $6,322,868.47.
Business Manager Jesse Johnson gave a detailed report during the truth-in-taxation hearing, explaining the reasons for the increase in the levy from 2023. It is increasing $240,600.25 – or 3.96%.
Johnson also provided information to the Board about the proposed 2024 site improvement project which includes parking lot improvements on the south side of the Middle School and High School, and moving the tennis courts farther south. He says Wold Architects will put a preliminary design together and bids could be sought this spring.
Also last night, the Litchfield School Board approved of a resolution accepting donations including: $400 from the Women’s Study Club for Lake Ripley Elementary 4th Grade Poster Boards; $600 from AgCountry Farm Credit for Lake Ripley Elementary; and $1,000 from the Litchfield Eagles Club for Litchfield High School Robotics.
