Proposed school budget holds line on tax rate

Published by admin on Wed, 03/28/2018 - 3:21pm

The Clear Lake School Board plans to hold the line on its tax rate in 2018-19.  The proposed district budget maintains the school district’s tax asking at $10.39 per $1,000 of assessed property valuation.  That rate is the same as it used for its 2017-18 budget, which was an 80-cent increase over 2016-17.

Public hearing on the budget will be held at 5:30 p.m. Tuesday, April 10, in the District Administrative Office.

Published by admin on Wed, 03/28/2018 - 3:18pm

The proposed Clear Lake School District budget includes $4 million for construction of an addition to Clear Creek Elementary School.  The expansion would make it possible to move preschoolers out of the Sunset School location and into a new pod at Clear Creek.

According to Superintendent Doug Gee, no bond issue would be needed for the project; sales tax dollars would fund the construction.
