School Board approves $23.6 million budget
ELLSWORTH A $23,680,977 school budget for 2021-22 found unanimous approval from School Board members April 27. The $721,182 increase represents a 3.14 percent hike from the current year’s budget, but the amount to be raised from local property taxes will only see a 0.06 percent bump, or $6,354.
“I think the taxpayers will be very thankful,” Chairwoman Jennifer Alexander said.
Higher than usual revenues are helping offset the impact on local appropriations for education, including $152,364 more in tuition from out-of-Ellsworth students for regular and special education instruction and Bridge Academy students for a total of $1.85 million. State revenues are also up, just over $200,000 for a total $4.32 million in subsidy. The state contribution to the school district debt service stands at $2.12 million, down about $100,000.
