One of the state's largest school districts finds out in a few days if it will have more money to operate as it has the last several years.

With little if any formal opposition Millard Public Schools is holding a levy override election Tuesday, with all the voting done by mail.

With three high schools, six middle schools, and 25 elementary schools Millard officials are asking voters to extend the 2018 levy override another five years.

The cost to a $300,000 home will be less than $10 a month, according to Millard; the money going to day-to-day operating costs such as salaries, benefits, books, and basketballs.

Without the increase officials are predicting serious fallout, including unnamed cuts.
