The Flandreau School Board approved its 2021-2022 budget, discussed safety procedures that will be in place for COVID-19 next fall and swore in one new board member at its July 12 meeting.
Without debate, the board approved a $5.96 million general budget, a $1.77 million capital outlay budget and a $1.27 million special education budget. The special education budget includes an additional teacher last year and this coming fall. The general budget compares with a $5.37 million budget for the 2020-2021 school year.
Within the general fund budget, $1.29 million is for the elementary, $906,642 will be spent in the middle school and $924,525 is allocated to the high school.
The approved general budget lowers the tax levy, which is multiplied by a property’s equalized value to determine taxes. If a person’s property value stayed the same, with these levies, the taxes should go down. However, property values have been rising across the state and in Moody County.
For agriculture land, the levy is 1.409 per thousand dollars of value. That number increases to 3.153 per thousand for non-ag, owner occupied and 6.525 per thousand for non-ag, other.
•School will start next year with a presumption that all students will return to in-person instruction.
