Good Afternoon Westhope, This note is an invitation to join us on September 11th at 6:00 pm in the Westhope Commons for our annual Truth in Taxation Meeting. A free roast beef supper will be served with the meeting to follow at 6:30 pm. We are seeking community feedback concerning our 24-25 tax levy because of the unique challenges that could be coming with the Property Tax Elimination Initiated Measure on the November ballot. The District is considering a defensive taxation position to be prepared if the measure passes or fails. Your feedback as a Taxpayer in our district is critical for the School Board to make a final taxation plan for the 2024-2025 School Year. We hope to see you at this year's meeting!
