The Dierks School District will hold a public meeting on Monday, August 19th at 6 p.m. to discuss a millage extension. A special election will take place on September 10th and the goal of the extension is to provide approximately $1,900,000 for constructing and equipping an elementary school classroom addition. The proposed six classroom wing will add in excess of 6,000 square feet.
The extension does not increase the current millage rate. The requested rate of 43 mills represents the same rate presently being collected. The 11 debt mills are being requested to be extended through 2049.
Other funds generated by the millage extension will be utilized by the Dierks School District for HVAC replacement, roof repairs, parking lots, safety improvements and other building maintenance.
For further questions or concerns, feel free to contact the district office at 870-286-2191.
