That would be distributed as $1.04 for maintenance and operation and $.13 to interest and sinking fund. A public meeting to discuss the proposed tax rate and the budget has been set for Monday August 25th at 6:30pm in the cafeteria.
Four new teachers were also introduced to the board. They are:

Allison Schulte – 4th grade
Kasey Wickel – 5th grade

It was also announced that all of the Burton teachers will have new lap top computers this year, paid for with grant money. The new lap tops were actually cheaper that trying to upgrade the older computers to run the required software.
