At last night’s school board, the 84 million dollar budget for 2013 received the thumbs up from all of the school board members. By the way, the 84 million is about 2% less than it was last year. When putting the budget together, it was discovered they were going to be short about 3.5 million dollars, and instead of asking for a tax increase, they choose to use their cash reserves to pay for the difference.
