Auburndale board adopts $3.13 million tax levy, approves routine annual resolutions
Summary
At its annual meeting, the Auburndale School Board adopted a $3,129,458 tax levy and approved multiple standard annual resolutions including board salaries, expense reimbursement, disposal of surplus property and school-lunch appropriations. The vote was by voice; individual tallies were not recorded.
The Auburndale School Board adopted a proposed tax levy of $3,129,458 at its 2025 annual meeting after a budget presentation that showed unaudited revenues near $12.2 million and a projected deficit for 2025–26.
Board members moved and seconded the resolution to adopt the levy and carried it by voice vote. The presenters noted the estimated mill rate tied to that levy is about $647 per mill; the board said the exact figures remain subject to final equalization and student-count data expected in October.
During the same annual meeting the board approved a set of routine resolutions: Resolution B setting board member salaries at $1,800 annually with an additional $30 per special meeting; Resolution C authorizing reimbursement of actual and necessary board travel expenses; Resolution D authorizing disposal of surplus school property and delegating the method and valuation to administration; and Resolution E directing the board to furnish school lunches and appropriate funds for that purpose. Each measure passed by motion and voice vote; recorded individual vote counts were not provided in the meeting record.
The levy and resolutions follow a budget presentation that detailed the district's recent finances: un-audited revenues of about $12.2 million, un-audited expenses near $12.3 million, and a smaller-than-anticipated prior-year deficit reported in the treasurer's figures. Administrators cautioned the projections include variables (equalization, official student counts) that will be firmed up in the fall.
Next steps: officials said final audits and the October equalization run will provide the definitive revenue and mill-rate figures. The board adjourned the annual meeting and moved to its regular agenda afterward.
