The district operating referendum approved in May increases taxes by 20 cents per $100 assessed property value but the debt service, tuition tax and match tax are being lowered by 5 and a half cents.
District CFO Bob Silbur says the reduction in some of the tax rates does not mean services to students will be cut.
The Christina School Board elected a new board president and vice president at Tuesday night's board meeting.
John Young will serve as president and Shirley Saffer vice president.
Young said the board is a unit where no one has more power than any other but he will do his part with whatever he can.
Dr. John Mackenzie announced his resignation at the meeting and Eric Anderson took the oath of office and became the boards newest member.
