The proposal from Superintendent Dr. Joe Gothard is mostly balanced, with about $706 million expected in revenues and $706.3 million slated in expenditures. The budget would see the district's fund balance fall by $291,000 from the beginning to the end of the year. The balance is partially achieved by increasing the burden on taxpayers. Under the proposal, the district's property tax would increase by 8.3%. The district already raised its tax by 20.4% last year as part of a 2024 operating referendum.
