The owner of a $250,000 home would pay $1,969.16, or $255.87 more.

The budget includes $31.67 million in supplemental state aid, $131,679 in instructional support state aid, $740,578 in commercial and indus trial state tax replacement, and $4.99 million in other state sources. In other business, the board will: Hold a public hearing on a budget amendment in three areas for the current fiscal year with approval slated for later in the meeting.
