Colonial School District Property Tax Hike Referendum

colonial.k12.de.us

Tom Bremer, president of the Antrim Maintenance Corporation in Bear says next week’s referendum in the Colonial School district to hike the property tax is too much.

The district says it needs a hike of 47 cents per $100 of assessed property value…to pay for updating its technology and the curriculum as well as expanding the pre-K program.

Bremer told WDEL radio that he would support a much lower increase.

For the public to get more information on the referendum there will be a meeting tonight at George Read Middle School at 7 pm.

The vote will take place on February 28th.
