(KMZA)--The Nemaha Central USD 115 Board of Education has approved a resolution that would increase the district's local option budget authority.
The board, during their regular meeting last week, approved the resolution, which provides the district the authority to increase the local option budget or supplemental general fund budget from 31 percent of the general fund up to 33 percent.
Superintendent Tavis Desormiers said it would give the board an option, if needed, when preparing future budgets.
The local option budget is funded through local property taxes and state funding.
The resolution was approved on a 4-1 vote. Board members Cara Baker, Amy Huerter, Amy Sudbeck and Owen Zinke voted in favor of the resolution, while board member John Deters cast the dissenting vote.
The resolution is subject to a protest petition, if signed by not less than 10% of the qualified electors in the district and filed with the county election officer within 40 days of publication of the resolution. If a sufficient petition is filed, the board can notify the county election officer of the date of an election to submit the question to voters.
