Notable Quotes (3)
If we were receiving from the state that additional $795 per pupil, that would be providing our school district an additional $6.6 million in annual funding.
School districts, as you would expect, are people organizations. And if you look at our expenditure budget, about 80 cents on every dollar that we spend is spent on people.
We've got about $5.16 million of taxes coming off the tax roles in calendar year 2026. If an operating levy were to be approved by the voters on November 4th, 2025, it would generate $5 million in new revenue.
