The 2011-2012 budget planning process faces significant challenges. A new 2% cap on local tax levies will generate an increase of $966,703. Adjustments to the tax levy due to rising health insurance and pension costs for non-certified staff are expected to further elevate the tax levy. State aid forecasts vary, with a decrease appearing likely. Additional revenue sources include activity fees and transportation. Budget expenditures reveal a need for $1.3 million to cover current employment contracts and a 10% increase in employee health insurance costs, alongside other mandated expenses.
