(KNZA)--The Prairie Hills USD 113 Board of Education has adopted the 2017-18 budget as published.

That came following a hearing during a special Board meeting Monday evening that drew no public comment.

Superintendent Todd Evans says because they are paying off two separate bond issues from the district’s prior to consolidation, there are two different levies.

Residents in the former USD 441 will see an estimated tax levy of 47.9 mills—an eight-tenths of a mill increase over last year.  Residents in the former USD 488 are looking at a total mill levy of about 48.5, which is almost identical to last year’s levy.
