(KNZA)--The Prairie Hills USD 113 Board of Education has adopted the 2018-19 budget as published, which contains a mill levy decrease.
That came during a special meeting Wednesday evening following a hearing drawing no public comment.
The budget calls for the school district to collect more than $5.6 million in local taxes.
Because of two separate bond issues before consolidation, USD 113 has two different mill rates depending on the location of property.
Those in the former USD 441 will see a decline of 4-tenths of a mill for a total estimated tax rate of 47.56 mills, which includes the mandatory 20 mills for state aid.
Those in the former USD 488 will see a decrease of 2.3 mills for a estimated tax rate of 46.204 mills
Superintendent Todd Evans says they are planning on this being the final year they levy a tax on the former USD 488 for bond and interest. It will be paid off a year early, saving $4,800 in interest costs for those patrons.
