That includes matching funds from the state for half of the proposed leeway tax. In individual terms, the increased tax would amount to $38 a year for a home with a market value of $80,000. It will increase district funds by about $70 per pupil over the $2,000 already spent for each student. By MARC HADDOCK Voters in the Alpine School district will have another chance to vole on a leeway tax this September. The Alpine Board of Education was scheduled to receive the signatures of 4,400 school district patrons in a petition that will require the board to hold an election to approve a leeway tax in September. ? Under the provisions of the petition, funds raised from the leeway can go to only four purposes : -- To purchase textbooks. --To purchase equipment and supplies. -- To maintain existing facilities. ; -- To provides teaching aides for exceptionally large classes, t. Dr. Charles Lloyd, for the district, was in the process of verifying the signatures Tuesday afternoon for last night's meeting. were , 4,100 There signatures .julreiT ':Xb force he leeway election. Petition supporters claimed they had gathered 4,400. Although the election will come too late to help local schools for the 1986-8- 7 school year, if the tax initiative is passed, it will add about $2.5 million to the Alpine District's coffers for the 1987-8- 8 school year, The initiative as outlined in the limit petition also places a on the leeway tax and sets a September deadline on the election. Board members were expected to set a specific date for the vote last night. The Public Involvement Council supported the leeway drive even though voters in the Alpine District defeated a similar measure last year. But council members said they feel support throughout the district for the petition demonstrates more support than was evident in last ar clerk-treasur- f 7' Iff- - 1 1 - wl v, M?Vl r I ltln i t f?JM A '"'-ivt"- ,V 4 - Vv- -; - year'selectWQ,., be more "We think there will support," said Howard Johnson of Lehi, chairman of the district PIC. "Many people came to us and said, 'Gee, if I had know it was going to be " tight, I would have voted. He said the council will also support the present measure more vigorously this year. An Orem woman who helped gather the signatures also felt that support for a leeway election would be more wide spread this time around. "We think we're in a lot better position than we were last year," said Bobbe Graham. Mrs. Graham's husband, Ray, is chairman of the leeway effort for the district PIC, but has been out of the country. In the interim, she has been helping gather petitions for the initiative. "Last year the people didn't understand the great need and they didn't understand the nature of the mill levy," Mrs. Graham said. "We low keyed it a little bit last time," Johnson said. "We hope to do more this year. We felt it ought to go back as a public request, and not as a forced issue from the school board," Johnson said. In fact, the board had planned on hold a bond election this year to get 'funds-fo- r buildings in district - hoping for public support since bond elections generally don't raise taxes and must be spent for buildings. But with public support in favor of the leeway tax election, plans for a bond vote will probably be postponed for at least a year.
