USD 422 board adopts resolution to exceed revenue-neutral tax rate
Summary
At a Sept. 9 revenue-neutral hearing in Greensburg, the USD 422 Board adopted Resolution No. 2504 authorizing a 2024–25 budget that exceeds the revenue-neutral tax rate; the motion passed 5–0.
The Board of Education of Unified School District No. 422 in Greensburg adopted Resolution No. 2504 at a revenue-neutral hearing on Sept. 9, 2024, authorizing a 2024–25 budget that will exceed the Revenue Neutral Tax Rate. President Ki Gamble called the hearing to order at 7:40 p.m.
A motion to adopt the resolution was made by Mike Greenleaf and seconded by Jamie Brown; the motion passed with five recorded yes votes: David Allison, Mike Greenleaf, Jamie Brown, J. Wynn Fleener and Ki Gamble. The board declared the hearing adjourned at 7:50 p.m.
Why it matters: adopting a budget that exceeds the revenue-neutral rate authorizes the district to levy at a rate higher than the state-calculated neutral rate for 2024–25, which can affect property-tax collections in Kiowa County. The board followed the formal hearing process required under Kansas law before taking the vote.
Next steps: The board proceeded to a separate budget hearing and then into its regular meeting later the same evening; no public comments were recorded during the revenue-neutral hearing.
