WALKER-HACKENSACK-AKELEY LEVY REFERENDUM

Walker-Hackensack-Akeley School District voters decide Tuesday whether the school board will have an additional $5.5-Million to spend over the next ten years. WHA is in statutory operating debt and will have to cut just over $1.2-Million from its $10-Million budget for the next school year if voters say no. If voters approve both questions on the ballot, the board would spend another $2.5-Million to replace the elementary school air handling system and fix up the roof and the baseball field. A taxpayer who owns a $100,000 home would pay an additional $108 a year for the next ten years if the levy is approved. Polling places include the WHA high school in Walker, Hackensack City Hall, and the Onigum and Akeley Regional Community Centers. Polls are open until 8pm.
