School Board Approves FY 2026 Budget Which Carries Slight Tax Increase

A $209 million general fund budget for Fiscal Year 2026 was approved April 24 by the Board of Education.

The spending plan is powered by a tax levy of $179,484,985.

This is not the budget originally introduced by the Board in March. That budget included $6 million in cuts, which would have meant an end to after-school bussing and the elimination of some staff positions in the schools.
