District revenue mix explained: state aid uncertainty, $416,000 levy increase equals 2.52% cap
Summary
Officials said the budget was built on the governor’s January aid run while noting the state had not passed a full budget; the proposed tax levy is $16,916,573 (a $416,000 increase, 2.52%), and presenters gave a rough estimate of about $0.77 per thousand of assessed value as a guide for taxpayers.
Presenter (S3) described the district’s revenue sources: primarily state aid (the budget used the governor’s January run), about $100,000 in federal aid, property taxes and PILOT payments (notably from local solar farms). She cautioned that final state aid remained uncertain because the state had not adopted a full budget and officials had only an extender in place at the time of the hearing.
On the tax impact, Presenter (S3) said the proposed tax levy is $16,916,573 — a $416,000 increase that reflects a 2.52% cap. When asked for a per‑$100,000 assessment example, Presenters noted the exact figure depends on assessments and equalization; Presenter (S3) gave a rough average: “It's about 77¢ per thousand of assessed value on average.”
