The Proposed Final Revenue and Expenditure Budget for the 2025-2026 school year approved at the May 13th School Board Meeting is in the amount of $28,519,542. The Budget represents an increase of $646,818 in operational costs and a $2M transfer to the Capital Reserve that is $2,646,818 more than the 2024-2025 Budget of $25,872,724. Local revenue for this Proposed Final Budget will be provided by a real estate tax of 21.7049 mills, one half of 1% earned income tax, one-half of 1% real estate transfer tax and one-half of $10 occupation privilege tax.
Revenues:
- The major revenue driver for the District is the Real Estate Tax Assessments, and local revenues account for 69% of total revenues. There is a 0.351 or 1.4% tax increase.
- The other two major revenues - State (27%) and Federal (1%) subsidies and Fund Balance (5%) reflects the balance of income for the District. The District projects decreased funding from both the State and Federal sources.
Expenditures:
- The 2025-26 General Fund Expenditure Budget total is $28,519,542.
- The instructional budget represents approximately half of all costs to the District.
- Increases in the budget can be attributed to increasing costs of reassessments, healthcare, contractual obligations with staffing, special education, tuition, transportation, and debt service. There is also a transfer of $2M to the Capital Reserve to fund several improvements and capital projects that the district has undertaken.
