Agenda: Board to hear revluation update
It’s a pretty light agenda for Springfield City Schools this Thursdat, but the district’s attorney will make a presentation on the county appraisal and board of revisions appeals process.
Over the last year, a record number of property owners appealed their reappraisal values with the county auditor’s office, leaving local districts waiting to see what impact the situation would have on their local funding, which is based on property values.
County Auditor George Sodders told Springfield Treasurer Penny Rucker last fall that the district could receive as much as $550,000 less than anticipated.
Already facing $1.4 million in budget cuts for next year, the district is now facing $1.9 million to shave from its budget.
In addition to the attorney’s report, the personnel section for tomorrow includes two teachers’ retirements (Carmen Cambria and Linda Fogarty) and two teachers’ resignations (Jill Dunsmore and Kathleen Keating).
The board meets at 6 p.m. Thursday in the city forum.
See the full agenda after the jump.

with so many properties being appraised wrong I think a new appraisal should be done period. Stop making homeowners do the work for the auditors office. Remember we do still vote.By Citizens Against moral and legal abuse

I think a re-appraisal is in order also since home values continue to drop I also think Sodders should be thrown out of Clark County along with a few other elected officials.
