According to staff reports, factors in the budget include:
That means a homeowner with a $125,000 home and a $25,000 homestead exemption — whose property values didn't change from year to year — would pay roughly $745 compared to the roughly $750 they paid a year prior.
Blavatt noted in his report that coupled with the declining property values, the district would likely receive $4.84 million less from local taxpayers than it did the year prior.
Blavatt noted in his budget report that compared to five years ago during the 2008-09 school year, per student funding has decreased about $365.
