Proposed budget cuts a counselor and two aides
What happened
The proposed 2026-27 budget was $15,715,564, up $540,741 (3.56%). It cut one adjustment counselor and two classroom aide positions and added a special education teacher, while health insurance rose 15.6%.
Why it matters to families
Fewer counselors and aides means less one-on-one help for students. The school tax rate was estimated to rise 21 cents per $1,000 of property value.
