PORTLAND — Voters will get a chance to weigh in May 10 on a school budget that will likely include a small tax increase.
A $91.6 million budget has been approved by the School Board’s Finance Committee, but still needs approval from the full board and an OK from the City Council to go before voters.
There is a chance that the budget could change somewhat before a final proposal goes to the referendum, but the current plan calls for an increase in property tax revenue of about $1.2 million. It’s expected the budget would require a tax increase of 15 cents per $1,000 of assessed value, or about $30 a year on a $200,000 home.
The council will vote Monday on setting the May 10 special election.
