Maryville R-II Seeking Voter Approval

The Maryville R-II School District is seeking voter approval for a waiver of the Missouri Proposition C Sales Tax Rollback, which would provide an additional $850,000 in annual operating funds. The funds would be used to support salaries, operations, and programming, aligning the district’s salary schedule with neighboring districts. If approved, the school’s operating property tax levy would increase by about 31 cents per $100 valuation. The district has a healthy fund reserve balance that could be used if the waiver is not approved, but they see this as a new revenue source to ensure financial stability amid potential changes to the state public education funding formula.
