Beatrice Public Schools board approves 2024–25 budget and sets property tax request
Summary
The Beatrice Public Schools Board approved the district’s 2024–25 budget and adopted a property tax request setting the general fund at $14,329,044; board members said the decision follows the required public hearing and standard budget process.
The Beatrice Public Schools Board of Education voted to approve the district’s 2024–25 budget and to adopt a property tax request setting the general fund at $14,329,044, the special building fund at $2,160,201 and the qualified capital purpose at $393,939.
An unidentified board member moved to approve the budget “as presented in the budget hearing,” and the motion was seconded. After brief discussion, the board approved the budget and the tax request by voice vote.
Board materials noted that the district’s total assessed property value changed by 8.47% from the prior year; the board said the proposed tax rate would be about 0.997324 per $100 of assessed value to raise the same levy amount on the new valuation. The district reported that, because of transfers counted toward the general fund, it has used roughly 98.5% of its budget authority for the year.
The board held the statutorily required public hearing on the tax request before adopting the resolution. The meeting minutes list the motion language adopted by the board; seconding members were identified in the record but the discussion did not include a roll‑call tally. The board chair said the motion carried.
What’s next: the district will file its property tax request with county officials as required and proceed with routine budget monitoring during the school year.
