The Knoch School Board will not have a tax increase for the the 2023-24 school year budget.
During the Wednesday night school board meeting, board members gave final approval to a general fund budget of about $38.5 million which is an increase of just over $500,000 compared to the current year.
The tax rate will hold constant at this year’s rate of 94.275 mils. The district plans to move some current staff into new roles in order to accommodate the change to all day kindergarten.
Although the cost of utilities continues to increase, district administrators believe the budget can be balanced without the need for changes in student programming
