BALTIMORE – Income tax revenue for the Liberty Union Thurston School District is inching up, Treasurer David Butler told school board members Monday night.

Income tax receipts are up about four percent from last year, but still behind the 2008 peak. Real estates tax receipts are also slightly ahead of last year.

In other business, Superintendent Paul Mathews said the structural steel is going up for the new maintenance building. It's the district's last major structural project.

He said there are some issues with the roof at the new middle school so a reinspection of the membrane roof system is planned. The problem with hot water clogging some filters has been resolved. "There were water balance issues," Mathews said. "Rate was about twice what is should have been. It has been adjusted." That appears to have solved the problem.

Board members unanimously approved a softball team spring trip to a tournament in North Myrtle Beach, South Carolina during spring break. A boys and girls cross county team training camp this summer at Hocking Hills State Park was also approved.
