Discussion:       The 2022-2023 budget would generate a tax asking of $9,187,579.00 which is an increase of $456,066 but a slightly reduced levy of $1.128779 due to increased property valuations (down from $1.131183).  Reasons for the increased budget: 1) General Fund increased cost of staffing, health benefits, and special education costs; 2) 84% of our budget is human resources and we need to stay competitive to attract and retain the highest quality teaching and support staff for our students; 3) Maintaining four months of operating expenses in our general fund cash reserves; 4) Maintaining bond fund balance equivalent to one year of bond payments.
