The South Winneshiek school board voted to approve its FY18-19 budget during Monday night’s regular meeting. The budget includes a tax levy rate of $12.45 per $1,000 valuation.

Superintendent Kris Einck noted that the district’s levy rate has remained very consistent over recent years, as the new rate is slightly lower than the FY17-18 rate of $12.52 per $1,000 valuation.

The board also approved wages for nonbargaining staff, which includes a 6 percent increase for the superintendent, 4 percent raise for the principals, and a 3 percent raise for the business manager.

For every boastful man, there is typically a clever wife right next to him, ready to help him achieve whatever outlandish claim he has made. 

At least, that is the premise of West Central’s spring play, “Finn McCool and His Fearless Wife,” which will be presented at 7 p.m. Friday and Saturday, April 20-21, in the auditorium at West Central High School. The cost to attend the play is $6. There will be a bake sale during the intermission of the Saturday evening performance.
