School board reviews tax date at hearing

Chuck Kajer, Managing Editor

New Prague Area Schools’ proposed tax levy was the topic of discussion at the annual Truth in Taxation hearing. The hearing took place before the regular school board meeting on Thursday, Dec. 8.

The school’s finance director, Rod Zivkovich, gave a presentation on the levy, including a lesson in terminology and some history to put this year’s numbers in perspective.

The first set of numbers he went over was the property valuation data. That is, the estimated assessed value of all property in the district.
