Board Meeting

The board approved the 2014-2015 budget as presented by Mitch Robison, Director of Budget Development, and set the tax rate at 0.006831. This means a tax increase of $22.24 per year on a $222,158 home (district average). Revenue generated from the new tax rate will be used to offset a charter school levy and invest in teacher professional development days outside the academic calendar, which were largely cut by the Utah Legislature during the economic recession.

Following the presentation, the board opened the meeting for public comment. Four members of the public spoke, all in favor of the proposed budget. The board then voted unanimously to adopt the proposed budget.
