Revenues:
• The major revenue driver for the District is the Real Estate Tax Assessments, which accounts for 62% of total revenues. Other local
revenues are 9% of the budget.
• The other two major revenues - State (28%) and Federal (1%) subsidies - reflect balance of income for the District.
Expenditures:
• The 2018-19 General Fund Expenditure Budget total is $23,143,635. This total is an increase from the prior year of $1,060,158 or 4.8%.
• The instructional budget represents 52% of all costs to the District.
• Increases in the budget can be attributed to costs of: retirement, salaries, special education, tuition, technology equipment, and debt service.
• Overall, the Budget was completed with the thought of maintaining the majority of services. The submitted budgets from the administrators
were either the amount allocated by the Board in prior years or a revised amount due to change of circumstances in the District. The administration
was asked to determine the best ways to decrease costs. These reductions were recommended to the Superintendent and Business Manager then to
the School Board for approval.
