Fine Arts Night and Budget Vote - Tuesday, May 21st Noon-8:00pm
- The proposed budget is $22,093,824, which represents a 0.65 percent decrease.
- The amount of local tax money needed to support the budget is $5,059,237. This is a 1.50 percent increase from the amount that was collected for the current school year and is within the 2.75 percent limit established by the tax cap legislation.
- During the past 10 years, the tax levy has increased an average of 1.42 percent each year.
- The tax cap law applies to the tax levy, which is the only thing the District controls. The tax rates and individual bills are determined in August and are greatly affected by changes in assessments and equalization rates, which are established by the towns and the state.
- A more detailed explanation of the budget can be found in the budget statement, which is available in the offices at each school and in the Savona Free Library. It may also be downloaded from the district website

You may notice a quote from Bryan Mendler. He provided a training at our school this spring. This quote strives to set the bar of how we as adults need to work with students during times when they may be struggling. The importance of relationships, connection, and specific positive feedback helps to teach and model to students how to grow into a succesful citizen!
