The adopted budget and tax rate determine the district’s spending authority and revenue for the coming year, affecting classroom programs, support services and capital planning. Contract approvals and property dispositions set terms for labor relations and potential real-estate transactions that could affect facilities and district operations.
What the record shows and editorial notes
- The transcript contained several numerical and transcription inconsistencies. The clerk’s reading of the budget resolved the adopted total at $21,273,724, which is reflected here. - On the construction excise tax item, the record includes conflicting figures for the nonresidential rate; the board’s discussion confirmed the tax cannot be applied retroactively.
