BURTON SCHOOL BOARD TO PROPOSE TAX RATE

  

The Burton School Board will gather on Monday for its last meeting before the new school year begins.

The board will consider the proposed tax rate to be published and will set the public meeting date to discuss the rate and the proposed budget.

At their meeting last month, trustees received information on a potential budget with general fund expenditures of $11,520,000, up from the current adopted general fund budget of $11,401,555.

Other business will include action on the 2026-27 districtwide, elementary and secondary campus improvement plans, as well as meal prices and the student code of conduct.  The board will also take up an annual item designating Washington County extension agents as adjunct staff members.

Additionally, trustees will hear a bond construction update and review the student, staff, organizational and student activity handbooks. 

The board will meet Monday at 7 p.m. in the Burton ISD Cafeteria.  The meeting will be held after the Meet the Teacher event from 4 to 6 p.m. and the Meet the Panthers rally at 6 p.m.
