In crafting a budget for next year, members of the White River Unified District School Board considered two scenarios for limiting the preK-12 district’s spending. If the board had opted for the deeper faculty cuts, it would have saved about four cents on the education property tax rate, she said. Because the state’s education property tax system is based on town property tax assessments, Bethel and Royalton residents are projected to experience different tax impacts next year. Bethel’s education property tax rate is projected to increase by a little less than 3 cents per $100 of assessed value. Elections for School Board will be held the following day by ballot in voters’ respective towns.
