(KLZA)-- The Mound City Board of Education conducted a budget hearing Wednesday evening. No one from the public appeared to speak during the hearing.
The levy was set at just over $4.16 per $100 of assessed valuation. The levy is expected to generate $1.15-million with a total budget of expenditures of approximately $3.24-million. That amount is up about $200,000 due to the recently passed bond issue.
Total enrollment for the start of the school year is 279 students in pre-school through high school at Mound City. That is the same number of students that started the school year in 2013.
A number of board policies and regulations were added or amended as mandated by the Missouri Legislature. The Board also approved a tuition rate for non-resident students of $3,500 and approved the federal free and reduced lunch policy.
Superintendent Ken Eaton noted the school district scored 92.9 percent on the Annual Performance Report issued by the Missouri Department of Education. It is the 14th time in the past 16 years the Mound City School District has scored above 90-percent.
Eaton also announced school will dismiss at 12:30 p-m on Friday, September 5th for the Holt County Fair.
The September Board meeting will be held a week later than normal, on September 24th.
