A re-run of a narrowly defeated Calhoun School's operating levy will be back on the November election ballot, according to superintendent Tim Woodward.
Woodward said a re-run of the levy was approved by the school board at a meeting last week.
He said there could be some minor changes regarding how the funding would support the continued operation of county schools.
Calhoun Schools, one of about a dozen state systems that does not have an operating levy, has been facing $800,000 deficits, mostly tied to decreasing enrollment.

Woodward said Monday that a policy change to charge outside groups fees for use of school facilities, those fees covering utilities and custodial services, has been put on hold until January, 2015.
The school system has essentially allowed outside groups, including sports groups not part of school activities, to use the facilities without cost.
The proposed policy would address the schools costs related to facility use. See earlier story CALHOUN SCHOOLS PROPOSING POLICY FOR OUTSIDE GROUP USE OF FACILITIES - Proposed Fees Related To Financial Crunch
