SIKESTON -- The Sikeston R-6 Board of Education set its tax levy during a special session Tuesday at the district's Central Office.
"The purpose of this special board meeting is to conduct a public hearing in which citizens may be heard on the property tax rate proposed and set by the Sikeston R-6 School District and for the board to consider the tax levy for the 2015-2016 school year," Superintendent Tom Williams said at the beginning of the meeting.
During the public hearing, board members approved the new operating tax levy of $3.5942 per $100 valuation, which is slightly lower than the 2014-2015 levy. The debt service levy was maintained at 21 cents by the Board.
