Off they go!

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, October 15, 2017

On your marks, get set, go! The ONU Circle K and Ada Girl Scout Troop 21172 fun run and 5k Sunday raised funds for United Methodist Committee on Relief. The event was held in the Sports Center due to rain.This is the beginning of the fun run. In the next photo, five-year-old Colton Kean tries to grab a balloon while waiting for the fun run to begin. The balloon had just the right amount of helium in it so that it just hung suspended in the air, neither rising nor falling into Colton's waiting hands. (Monty Siekerman photo)

Letter: School levy is a renewal - not a new tax

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, October 15, 2017

Icon viewers:

 We are asking that you support the upcoming school income tax levy renewal for the Ada Schools. 

The tax rate would remain the same as it has since 1992.  This is only a renewal and not a new tax.  The current revenue from these funds compose nearly 10 percent of the school’s general revenue budget.  This is a significant amount and is necessary to maintain the quality education our students receive.
