(KMZA)--The Prairie Hills USD 113 Board of Education has approved for publication a proposed 2019-20 budget that calls for net expenditures of more than $15 million and a mill levy decrease.
The Board took the action during a special meeting Wednesday evening.
The proposed budget calls for the district to collect nearly $5.6 million in local taxes.
Superintendent Todd Evans said because of two separate bond issues before consolidation, USD 113 has two different mill rates depending on the location of property.
He said constitutents in the former USD 441 will see a estimated tax rate of 46.262 mills, which is down nearly 1.3 mills from last year.
Last year, Evans said the district levied the final taxes to pay off the former 488 bond issue. As a result, those constituents will see an estimated tax rate of 40.361 mills, which is down 5.8 mills from last year.
The Board will consider adoption of the budget following a public hearing prior to their regular meeting August 12.
