Budget talks heat up as school district eyes Aug hearing
The district reviews a 1969 70 draft budget with a $404 million tax roll and a proposed 1.50 operations tax rate expected to raise about $5.94 million. New classrooms and staff include 16 teachers, 20 kindergartners, 160 paraprofessionals, and four clerical workers. An electric bill surge, due to full operation of new AC units, could raise costs by about $75,000. The plan also adds $75,000 for maintenance and $100,000 for replacement equipment, while salaries for many staff remain to be finalized. The board weighs funding for extracurricular positions and potential reorganizations, with some new roles uncertain.
