The Indianola School Board set the maximum tax levy rate at their most recent meeting, keeping the rate the same after the state supplemental aid was set at 2.4%, with the rate at $17.99 per $1,000 of valuation. Superintendent Art Sathoff tells KNIA News a goal for the board is to not only keep the rate as low as possible, but to also keep it consistent.

“We try to keep it steady so there aren’t wild swings in the tax rate. We feel pretty good about that, and we have it published for a public meeting. The tax levy is the maximum authorized budget so we won’t exceed that, and we try to make sure we don’t spend the entire budget either. We do a good job being fiscally responsible and keep the budget in good shape. The best news is there is not much change.”
