(KLZA)-- Stephen Kennedy will serve as President of the Auburn Board of Education for 2016 with Beth Kernes Krause serving as Vice-President of the Board.
During the visitors portion of the meeting, Mark Caspers and Gary Schlange discussed property taxes with the Board. High property taxes and the discrepancy in the amount of property taxes between school districts was discussed. Superintendent Kevin Reiman called it a good discussion and said it is a myth that there is local control over the amount of property taxes levied.
Reiman says the projections for State Aid to Schools for the 2016-17 school year do not look good for the district, with a projected decrease of $511,000. For the current school year, the Auburn School District received approximately $2.6-million in state aid.
Joe Casey also presented the Board with an update on the Teammates Mentoring program in the District.
The Auburn School District is in the process of getting bids for the Central Office roof project and hope to award the bids in February. The $60,000 EPA Grant the school district received to use toward the purchase of three new school buses was also discussed. Plans are to award bids for the new buses in February.
