The August meeting of the Stanberry school board included adopting the budget and the property tax levy for the new school year.
This year's adopted budget includes carrying over a surplus of more than $97,000 dollars. The year before, there was a deficit of almost $18,000 dollars.
The new property tax levy for Stanberry schools at just over $5.40 is an increase of almost six cents from the year before.
The summary of Monday's meeting (August 17) from Stanberry superintendent John Davison said there are some capital improvement projects that will need to be addressed in the next few years, including the parking lots, heating and air conditioning systems, and several areas on the roof where an annual inspection were given a "D" rating which is equal to two to four years of service life remaining.
