The budget proposal stays under the state tax cap with a zero-tax levy increase. The main increase for this budget, around $2.1 million, is for additional special education costs.

A Foundation Aid increase for the district of 1.94% or $412,221 from the Governor’s State Aid Run and a 5.09% or $1,080,733 from the Legislative State Aid Run, puts the district $668,512 over the governor’s original proposal allowing for the zero-tax levy.

A third proposition authorizes the district to establish a 2019 Capital Reserve Fund for the purpose of funding future capital needs. The ultimate amount will be no greater than $2.5 million plus interest earned for a maximum ten-year term.
