The Christina School District got another no from voters for its property tax increase request.
That will mean the district will begin its budget cuts and layoffs.
The vote was just nearly 6,000 to around 5,000 against the tax hike.
That was much closer than that blowout that occurred in February for a much large increase.
The proposal would have increased taxes on $100 of assessed property value by 37 cents.
It would have been spread out over a three year period.
With the no vote the Christina School District now faces a $9.5 million hole in its budget.
The Wilmington News Journal reports that more than 100 teachers and staff could now face cuts.
