(KNZA)--The Hiawatha School Board has approved for publication a proposed 2020-21 budget that calls for net expenditures nearly $17.3 million and a just over one mill tax levy decrease.
The action came during a special meeting Tuesday evening.
The budget contains an estimated tax rate of 48.353 mills, with the amount of tax to be levied at more than $6.3 million.
Superintendent Lonnie Moser noted the mill levy has decreased the last several years. The district has been able to lower the levy due to an increase in the district's assessed valuation.
The board will consider final approval of the budget following a public hearing at their August 10 meeting.
