The Eldorado CUSD 4 Board of Education has approved a plan to return 100-thousand dollars to local taxpayers after stronger-than-expected sales tax revenue.

The decision came during Thursday’s board meeting, with officials saying collections came in above projections while planned summer projects are still expected to stay within budget.

The move reduces the district’s property tax levy by 100-thousand dollars. However, officials note that doesn’t necessarily mean individual tax bills will go down, since the school district is only one part of the overall bill.

District leaders say the reduction allows them to provide some relief to taxpayers while still maintaining operations and moving forward with planned projects.
