District overview
Sevastopol School District
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
How is Sevastopol funded and governed?
The district finance presentation says its high property value leaves it with little state equalization aid, while enrollment and state revenue limits influence its spending authority. The annual meeting and school board set a 2026–27 levy of $12,591,157. The seven-member school board makes district decisions; the annual district meeting separately considers items including the levy.
Enrollment affects the budget
The finance presentation describes resident enrollment, a rolling average and open enrollment as drivers of revenue.
Local taxes supply much of the cash
The finance manager described a timing gap: much of the local tax cash arrives in January and June.
Who decides
A seven-member elected board oversees the district. Separate finance and facilities committees are mentioned in board minutes; their separate minutes were not located.
The budget and levy figures come from meeting recordings with automatic captions; the approved October minutes were not found. This is a partial record.
