Pine Island taxpayers don’t appear to have much concern about where their tax dollars are going in paying for their schools.
Or else, perhaps they have total faith in their school board.
Each year before adopting their next year’s tax levies, Minnesota cities, counties and school districts must hold public “truth-in-taxation” meetings.
That’s the law, said Pine Island School Superintendent Tammy Berg-Beniak to her audience of 11 (six school board members, three school staffers and a pair of reporters) at the district’s Dec. 6 truth-in-taxation meeting.
Berg-Beniak listed the sources of school revenue (state, local property taxes, federal, other), discussed the district’s 2012-2013 budget and expenditures and offered fiscal optimism:
The projected income, $12,394,092, is up two percent from the school year before.
And the budget, $12,224,946, is down 0.17 percent.
