Sheridan School Board adopts FY2024–25 budget, sets tax rate at $4.7882 per $1,000
Summary
After a brief public hearing with no public comment, the Sheridan School District board adopted Resolution 24‑9 to approve the district’s FY2024–25 budget and impose an operations tax rate of 4.7882 per $1,000 of assessed value.
The Sheridan School District Board of Directors on June 12 adopted its fiscal year 2024–25 budget and set an operations tax rate of 4.7882 per $1,000 of assessed value.
The board opened a public hearing on the proposed budget and asked for public comment; none was offered, and the hearing was closed. With the public hearing complete, the board considered Resolution 24‑9 and voted to adopt the budget as presented.
Why it matters: the adopted tax rate determines the district portion of property taxes collected for operations in tax year 2024–25 and is a central piece of how the district will fund staff, curriculum and technology needs in the coming year.
Board action and vote: A motion to set the budget as presented was made, seconded and carried. The chair read the resolution into the record: "Be it resolved that the board of directors of the Sheridan School District 48 j hereby imposes the taxes provided for in the adopted budget at a rate of 4.7882 per 1,000 of assessed value for operations, and that these taxes are hereby imposed and categorized for the tax year of 2024 through 2025 upon the assessed value of all taxable property within the district." The motion passed by voice/roll call; the board chair and board members voted in favor.
What the resolution does and next steps: Resolution 24‑9 formally adopts the budget and authorizes the district to categorize and impose the operations tax at the stated rate for the 2024–25 tax year. The district will proceed with the adopted spending plan and related accounting and reporting steps; the board scheduled its next regular meeting for Aug. 14, when organizational items and several routine documents will be considered.
Public participation: No members of the public addressed the budget during the public hearing portion of the meeting.
Budget context: Earlier in the meeting administrators said the district is planning for curriculum adoption cycles that increasingly rely on 1:1 Chromebooks and noted technology replacement will be a multi‑year budget consideration. The district’s proposed technology allotment in the packet was discussed as roughly $50,000 covering all technology in next year’s budget, and staff flagged the need to refine device-replacement scheduling over a 3–5 year horizon.
The board adjourned at 7:00 p.m.
