Interim superintendent outlines Grangeville school funding mix ahead of levy vote
Summary
Amanda Bush, interim superintendent for the Grangeville School District, described the district—s revenue mix—about 70% state funding, roughly 10% federal grants and about 30% local funding—and said the district will ask voters to approve a local levy to cover unmet needs.
Amanda Bush, interim superintendent for the Grangeville School District, told listeners the state provides the majority of the district—s funding. "This state funds school districts at about 70%," she said, adding that state funds pay for teachers and discretionary items.
Bush said the district receives "about 10%" of its revenue from the federal government, provided through grants, and that the remainder comes from local sources, most commonly a voter-approved levy. She framed those local decisions as community choices about what schools should prioritize.
Bush closed by noting the district is putting specific items before voters this year to try to improve local schools.
