AudubonSchool District

At Audubon School District, one Superintendent reports to county and state levels, manages four district offices, two elementary, one junior high, and one high school.

During the past several years the Board has faced the challenge of reduced state aid in the preparation of the budget. For the 2012-2013 budget the district has received additional aid which is attributed to the school choice program. This has enabled the board to enhance our programs while keeping the tax levy under cap.

$21,011,569.

Used to include Audubon Park…now part of the

Audubon School District

Mt. Ephraim

* Tuition revenues contribute 13% toward the budget.

*Audubon Park is now part of our district.

*As a result, we now receive consolidated State Aid as well as the tax levy from Audubon Park.

Balancing the Budget

An increase in state aid means enhanced programs for the children

And a smaller tax increase for the residents

A limited Freshman Sports Schedule Additional Testing and Professional

Development to Comply With State Mandates

Additional SAC Services Additional Capital Projects Funding New Boiler for Haviland Avenue Additional Tech Equipment Replacement for District Pickup Truck

Enhancements to the Budget

What’s the bottom line?

What will this cost the average taxpayer?

A home based on the average assessed value of $209,000. will cost about $22.00 per year, or less

than Fifty Cents per week.
