MCC to host meeting on proposed levy increase on Wednesday

A community meeting is planned at 6 p.m. Wednesday in the Murray County Cental High School auditorium to provide information on the operating levy.

The MCC Board of Education voted unanimously in July to have a special election Nov. 4 to consider an operating levy increase. The current operating levy is $626 per student. If the levy is approved in November, the estimated tax impact would be about an additional $171 per year, or $14.25 per month on a home valued at $150,000.

Tax calculators are available on the school’s website for accurate tax impact. Another $250,000 or more in cuts for the 2026-27 school year is possible if voters don’t approve the operating referendum; that's in addition to recent cuts already made for the current school year.
