Clay County school board approves revised 2024–25 general-purpose budget
Summary
The Clay County School Board approved a revised 2024–25 general-purpose budget after the county provided a finalized 'value of the penny' figure used to update local property tax revenue projections; the board also added a new full-time assistant position to support an incoming student.
The Clay County School Board voted to approve a revised 2024–25 general-purpose school budget at its July 11 meeting, the board chair said.
The chair told members the county supplied a finalized "value of the penny" that the board used to recalculate property-tax revenue for the budget and noted an increase tied to the state's new funding formula (BEP) of about $13,000. "We did the one thing I know in particular that we added was the new assistant," the chair said when seeking approval for the revised plan.
Board members moved and seconded the motion and the vote carried without recorded opposition. The chair said the county had been "very receptive" and affirmed that the county would let the district retain its gross share based on the figure provided.
The board packet included a line-by-line summary of the changes; beyond the assistant position and the updated local-revenue figure, the meeting record does not specify additional dollar amounts or line-item changes.
The board's approval comes ahead of the school year and follows an earlier vote to adopt the preliminary budget; the chair said staff would notify county officials and proceed with the revised numbers. No further public comments were made on the budget at the meeting.
The board moved on to other agenda items after approving the budget.
