Marion Unit 2 aims for balanced budget via tax realignments

Interim Associate Superintendent Randolph Tinder explains PTEL allows moving surpluses between funds without raising the overall rate. By reallocating 3.77 million from Working Cash into Education and about 2.8 million from Transportation, the district could boost Education Fund revenue by 66 cents per 100 of assessed value and generate over 3 million more without higher taxes, though a 3.6 million operating deficit remains to address in later steps.
