Cap Compliance The proposed general fund budget for total spending
is a tax levy increase of 2.00%. The proposed budget is under the maximum state
limit for administrative costs. The district has additional tax authority of $2,369,993
referred to as banked cap. Banked cap is available to the district for potential use in subsequent three fiscal years. Of that amount, $1,373,337 must be used by 14-15 or it will expire.
The board has opted to use $691,320 for the local share of a state approved (and funded) capital project.
