Policy DEA
Funds From Local Tax Sources
School Board Approved: November 21, 2016
The major share of all financial support for local School Districts is raised by taxing property within the District. Most of the financial support of public education, therefore, is subject to a direct vote of the people.
It is the responsibility of the School Board to sufficiently explain the objectives and needs of the schools to appropriate community bodies that have a role in school budget adoption, and to the legislative body which casts the final vote, so that local support of education can indeed provide for all children equal educational opportunities.
The Board, administration, and the professional staff will work with the taxpayers toward the solution of problems in the operational funding of the School District.
The financial condition of the District, along with its needs and goals, will be explained to the citizens.
