(KNZA)--The Board of Education for the South Brown County Schools of USD 430 has adopted the 2019-20 budget as published.
That came following a hearing at their meeting Monday evening drawing no public comment.
The budget contains an estimated tax rate of 42.061 mills, which is down 1.3 mills over the 2018-19 school year.
The total taxes levied will be more than $1.6 million.
The district was able to lower the tax levy due to a more than $2 million increase in assessed valuation. One mill will raise a little over $39,000.
In other business, the Board approved a pilot science curriculum for 6th-8th graders. The curriculum will be used for one year at a cost of $2,800.
The Board also approved a new digital citizenship class for middle school students. Everest Middle School Principal Travis Torkelson said the class will teach students how to use technology safely and responsibly.
