The Marion Center School Board approved the 2022-23 budget during last night’s meeting, but it will contain an increase in taxes for district residents.
The budget, which came to $29,077,518, required a combination of a 1.5% tax increase and about $800,000 from the district’s fund balance to fill the budget gap. Business Manager Rick Martini said that on top of rising costs of needed items and healthcare, contractual agreements and the uncertainty of state funding, cyber school costs also increased.
The increase to 12.1425 mils means an increase of $23.64 on the average home in the district.
The board also approved a list of booster and parent organizations that will promote and financially support extracurricular activities in the district. They range from sports and band boosters to PTA’s for both elementary schools.
