Arkport School Budget Proposal for 2024-25: Key Details and Voting Information

The Arkport Board of Education has adopted a new budget for the 2024-25 school year. The meeting took place on April 17, 2024, and the budget set is $14,487,248, which is a 5.19% increase from last year, adding $715,201. The budget supports educational resources and opportunities for all district students.

Residents will soon receive a detailed budget breakdown by mail, offering transparency about the planned allocations and enhancements for the next school year. The budget includes a 2% tax levy increase, which remains below the state's maximum allowable limit.

Voters in the district will decide on the budget in a vote scheduled for May 21, 2024. The vote will occur in the small gymnasium from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. A simple majority is required for the budget to pass since the tax increase is within the allowable limit.

On the same day, residents will also vote for a new member of the Arkport Board of Education, who will serve a five-year term starting July 1, 2024.
