Although the budget will not officially be approved until a public hearing is held during the next regular meeting on August 20th, the Manhattan Ogden USD 383 School Board agreed on the proposed budget.
Director of Business Services, Lew Faust presented the budget, which has been adjusted during previous meetings.
The board’s original goal was to keep the mill levy increase under a mill, and they definitely did so-as the proposed mill levy stands at 52.49, which is an increase of .04 mills over last year’s budget.
Board Vice President, Marcia Rozell made a motion to give final approval to the recommendation to publish the notice of hearing, with the hearing being scheduled for the next meeting-August 20th.
