We know the county has been hit hard with unemployment and whatnot. We understand that, we just, we know that we have a duty to out kids and that's what it comes down to."The district currently has a 250 dollar and another 350 dollar levy.Last night's referendum would have replaced the 250 dollar levy with a 650 dollar operating levy.The 250 dollar levy will expire in 2011.
