Superintendent Muckey gave some
updates on the bills that were passed this legislative session. As of right now the schools have not been
given any directive from the state but in the upcoming weeks they will be
sending that information out.
The board has been approached by
different members of the school district about the increase of taxes they have
seen this year. The school has contacted
the auditors of both Aurora & Douglas counties to go over the
increase. The levy increased slightly
over last years levy. Assessed property
valuations did increase significantly this year which the school has no control
of nor knowledge of at the time levies were set. The school district tax-opt outs also were
allowed to expire to diminish tax request for the general fund account. Depending on how current legislative action
impacts the budget and based on the current valuations the school hopes to
adjust the tax levies accordingly for the future.
Superintendent Muckey presented a
list of items to possibly declared surplus.
The teachers will be shown the list before declaring items surplus that
can still be used in the school.
