2. Financial Items
2.1. 2023-2024 Budget overview
The Board reviewed the budget prepared by Superintendent Meyerle.
With the increase in state aid, the district will be able to lower its tax request from 2022-2023 when it was $4,719,494. The tax request for 2023-2024 will be $4,599,331.
Overall the levy will decrease by over 7 cents from .7871 in 2022-2023 to .7162 in 2023-2024. Superintendent Meyerle reminded the Board that the school district controls the tax request (which will be down). However, the school district has no control over what county valuations are set at. He also reminded the Board how fortunate we are as many schools are up against the $1.05 levy limit.
