The Pella School Board approved their 2015-16 certified budget at Monday’s meeting.
It will be sent to the county auditor’s office for certification on April 15th. Superintendent Greg Ebeling says despite a drop in enrollment and no answer from the state about a supplemental aid increase, the property tax levy will stay the same at $14.70 per $1000 for the upcoming school year. He says this approval doesn’t focus on line-items, but more of the overall authority Pella has to spend money. We have more details about the budget on Let’s Talk Pella.
