Whether local school levies ask excessive amounts Tuesday is for you to decide. Sandy Elementary District cut some ¿16,363 from a March 30 levy bid. It trimmed two teacher positions, a $4,000 maintenance vehicle and $7,000 fencing behind Cedar Ridge School. Sandy Union High School District m eanwhile seeks ap proval of a $2.7 million operating levy after May 18 defeat of a $3.6 million tax base. Welches School District asks approval of a $106,782 combina tion A and B special levy for its $1.02 million budget.
