July is an interesting month. We put a lot of time and energy (as we should) into numerous 4th of July celebrations. Many people then turn their attention to August and the back to school craze. However, I've always found the "dog days" of July as a great time to put your head down and get a lot of work done.
Over the next three weeks, most of the YPS 2015-16 budget will be constructed. This will include the tax request levy and use of local, state, and federal dollars. We will provide the school board with a preliminary look at the 15-16 budget at our next meeting on July 13th. The budget will look very familiar as it is similar to years past. We will once again need to operate with a maxed out levy of $1.05. We are projecting to spend $15,500,000 and receive around $15,700,000. This could change in mid-August when our valuation increase gets certified.
Yes, August 13th will be here before we know it. However, there is still lots to do and thankfully the dog days of July will allow us to get ready for a sensational 2015-16 school year.
Go Dukes!
