Essex holding on to its high school

In a update to this post, there has been a change in the Essex school district’s strategy. In a series of KMA stories:

A Valley News Today (Shenandoah) article in March reported that the state had suggested the district be looking to cut $500,000 from its budget. Apparently not on the table — or at least not mentioned anywhere I’ve seen — is increasing the local income surtax. Essex’s surtax is currently 9%, while the highest rates in the state aren’t too far away in Sidney (20%) and Fremont-Mills (17%).
