This compares to $ 5.74 for 1994, or a decrease of $. 11. Supt. Lindan Hill explained that this is partly from higher assessed valuation { still the lowest in the county) and largely from the state tax distribution formula which benefits Eastern's property owners. This formula was set up to help level the playing field by asking wealthier districts to share with the less wealthy. / South Meridian Street
