School board adopts 5.637 millage rate, approves tentative budget; public hearing draws no speakers
Summary
The Taylor County School Board approved a tentative millage rate of 5.637 and adopted a tentative budget during a public hearing; no public comment was offered on either item.
The Taylor County School Board voted to adopt a tentative millage rate of 5.637 and approved the district’s tentative budget during a public hearing at the meeting. The board solicited public comment on both items and, hearing none, proceeded with the votes.
A board member moved to approve the millage rate, stating, “I’ll make a motion that we approve the millage rate, and it’s 5.637.” The motion was seconded and carried. The board then opened and closed a public comment period for the tentative budget with no speakers and approved the tentative budget as presented.
During discussion, a board member read the tentative budget total into the record as $62,000,002.82 (amount stated at the meeting). That figure was accepted in the motion to adopt the tentative budget; the motion was seconded and approved with no recorded opposition.
By approving the tentative budget and millage rate, the board moved forward with the statutorily required budget-adoption process; final adoption typically occurs after the required public-notice period and any further budget hearings. The board directed staff to proceed with required public notifications for the tentative budget and to present the final budget for adoption in a future meeting.
