Knoch board approves preliminary budget; no tax increase included
JEFFERSON TWP — At Wednesday night’s meeting, the Knoch School Board approved the district’s preliminary budget which holds the line on taxes for the upcoming 2023-24 school year.
The preliminary budget was presented to the school board by district business manager Jamie Van Lenten at last week’s work session.
The school board approved the preliminary budget unanimously by a 9-0 vote.
Expenditures in the preliminary 2023-24 budget amount to $38,457,999, while revenue comes out to $38,407,191. This means that the preliminary 2023-24 school budget ends with a slight deficit of $50,808. However, Van Lenten said she is confident that Knoch will be able to present a balanced budget by the time a finalized version is ready to be presented next month.
"That should be between now and next meeting,“ said Van Lenten.
