Key Points from the Budget Presentation:

• State budget included a $325 per-student revenue increase for 2023-24 and 2024-25
• State general aid increased by 1.9%.
• Increases in state aid go towards local tax levy relief and do not increase the amount of revenue to the District.
• During the school career of a 2023 High School Graduate (4K to 12th Grade), the cumulative amount of per pupil funding from the state is behind inflation $3,235.
• 9,701 students x $3,235 = $31 million in district budget reductions just to keep up with inflation.
• The tax levy is increasing by 2.5% and the mill rate is decreasing by 11.6%
• $6,226,286 of the tax levy is used to fund the State private school voucher program. This amount will be deducted from the state aid received by the District. This is a $1,605,660 (34.8%) increase from the previous year.
• In 2022-23, local private schools that participate in the voucher program had a total enrollment 0f 1,370 students, with 637 students (47%) receiving vouchers.
