PORTLAND — Portland School Board Chair Kate Snyder will present the board’s proposed $94.9 million school budget to the City Council on April 23.

The budget would double enrollment in the district’s pre-kindergarten program, add Spanish instruction to the fifth-grade curriculum and provide a major upgrade in technology.

The budget would require a 3.68 percent rise in property taxes, or an increase of $85.85 for a home assessed at $250,000.

The budget also includes a $2 million lease-purchase of technology equipment, to be paid for over four years.

The School Board approved the budget on April 10, but the City Council has the final say.

During the past five years, the School Board has cut staffing by more than 100 positions. The proposed budget would eliminate eight positions in the current budget and add eight other positions, resulting in no net change in staffing.

The City Council’s Finance Committee will vote on the budget on April 25. The City Council will hold a public hearing on April 30 at 7 p.m. and is expected to vote on the budget on May 7.

Portland voters will consider the budget in a May 15 referendum.
