I have not seen a publication for Edgar Springs School or Newburg School.

However, preliminary numbers being reported from Edgar Springs indicates that the School Board/Administration there has decided to invoke Amendment 2 passed by voters which allows a school with a tax rate ceiling of less than 2.75 to not do a full roll back of their levy. Edgar's rollbacks called for around a ninety cent reduction in the tax levy to something less than 1.90, but it appears the Board members there are voluntarily going to roll it back up to 2.75 and not give their patrons a break on taxes with the reassessment. Edgar Spring school patrons may see little or no tax relief with reassessment because of this type of action on the part of their school administration and Board members.
