Wainscott
VOTING
2 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at Wainscott School.
THE BUDGET
The district proposes a budget of $2,949,339 for 2017-18, a 2.88 percent decrease from the current $3,036,916. The tax levy would decrease 3.75 percent, from $2,336,916 to $2,249,339.
This decrease is within the district’s tax-cap limit of 2.17 percent, so a simple majority vote will be required to approve the budget.
The school district did not provide the estimated school taxes on the average single-family house. District officials previously have cited residential property values within the district vary too widely to make the estimate.
The proposed budget would increase teacher salaries by 3 percent. There would be no changes in the number of teachers or other staff members.
