Walton-Verona Schools holds the line on tax increases

I wrote two weeks ago about the Beechwood Independent School District’s decision to slightly lower taxes as Kentuckians face nearly unprecedented fiscal stress.

Now, another Northern Kentucky school district has managed its business in such a way that it will not need to raise taxes in the coming year.

“Hats Off” to the Walton-Verona schools for being good stewards of both education and the taxpayers money.

By the way, most Kentucky school districts would jump for joy if they had the proven educational performance at both Beechwood and Walton-Verona. Here are some interesting statistics on these well-managed systems that don’t scream “more money” every second.
