(KNZA)--The South Brown County USD 430 Board of Education adopted the 2025-26 budget as published at their September 10th meeting, which calls for a slight mill levy increase.
The action followed a hearing drawing no public comment.
Also following a separate hearing drawing no public comment, the Board adopted a resolution to exceed the revenue neutral rate.
In addition, a resolution was adopted setting the local option budget percentage for the 2025-26 school year at 32.3 percent.
The budget calls for the district to collect more than $2.4 million in tax revenue.
In other business, the lone bid was accepted from AHRS Construction, of Bern, to remodel the eight restrooms in the district's three schools at a total cost of $305,300.
A majority of the project cost will be funded through leftover funds from the $7 million bond issue approved by district voters in November 2021 for facility improvements, with the remainder to come from the capital outlay fund.
The work is expected to be completed next summer.
The board also also accepted a quote from Daktronics for the purchase of two new scoreboards and two new shot clock timers for the Horton High School gym in the total amount of $27,619.
In addition, a quote was accepted from Schurle Signs, of Lawrence, for installation of the scoreboards and shot clocks in the amount of $9,228.
