        Agenda Item Type: 
Action Item     
    
        Discussion: 
Mr. Tobey presented the board regarding an amendment to the general fund budget.  The additional expenses are due to the expenses paid for out of the general fund for construction costs not covered by the Bond.  A further explanation is that this is not asking for more tax dollars, it is expenses for the construction and transfers to the depreciation fund for revenue that has already been collected.  For the 2025-2026 school year, the budget will include the extra expenses for construction that the board plans to pay out of the general fund.  Superintendent Darren Tobey also presented to the board a proposed budget and tax asking for the 2025-2026 school year.  Property valuations have gone up 5% from last year.  The proposed tax levy for 2025-2026 is $.842516.  The school district is asking for the same amount of money as the previous year.  This is about $1 million dollars less than about eight years ago that was asked by the taxpayers for the general fund.
