DUBBERLY, La. - Webster Parish School Board members will apparently try again to get voters in Consolidated School District (CSD) 3 (south Webster) to approve a proposal to rededicate property tax funds.
During Tuesday’s meeting, Superintendent Johnny Rowland introduced an agenda item giving notice that the board will consider adopting a resolution a its Aug. 3 meeting which would put the proposal to the voters again in November.
Voters in CSD 3 said no by an overwhelming 64-36 margin on June 27 to the proposition that would have rededicated funds from an existing 25-plus mill property tax. Purpose of rededicating the funds had been explained only as “to provide additional support to schools in the district.”
CSD 3 schools include Lakeside Jr/Sr High School and Central Elementary.
