Well, here you go. Tomorrow night's Public Meeting agenda:
First a Presentation of the 2023-24 School Budget, then Public Comments on the Budget Resolution only and then Approval of the 2023-24 School.
And here's the Approval Resolution:
Not for nothing but if the $pending in this 2023-24 School Budget is, as they say, at $352,219,522, then they might want to add that $6,159,600 instead of subtracting it from both the Total Appropriations and Other Anticipated Revenue lines before they adopt this Resolution.
That's nice and all but where's the School Budget they're approving? I can't see it and I asked for it. What, we have to rely solely on whatever the Acting Super has to say about the School Budget in his Presentation. What about what he doesn't say about what's in or not in this School Budget? Well, you won't know because you won't have anything to look at while he gives his Presentation.
Good luck with that scenario.
Anyway, asked if the detailed school budget would be available before or during tomorrow night's meeting, you know so people can ask important questions about what's actually in this School Budget, what and where the changes are from Last year and all - but got no response.
Not for nothing but Where's the School Budget they're approving that shows the detailed $pending by Department and the changes from Last year, the detailed Headcount and the changes from Last year, the detailed Other Anticipated Revenue and the changes from Last year, the calculation of the the School tax rate generated in this 2023-24 School Budget and the Change in that School tax rate from Last year's $3.197 (Per 100)?
Anyhoo, silly me, what was I thinking - we obviously can't see what they're doing until after they adopt it. Not to worry about the lack of transparency though - You're only Funding 67% of this $352 million 2023-24 School Budget and it only represents over 50% of Your Total Property Tax Bill.
