The Facts Behind School Funding:

Your school taxes are based on the Fair Market Value of your house.

  • By state law, the Fair Market Value is calculated by the Tax Assessor.

  • The school district doesn’t assess nor calculate your property value (Fair Market Value).

  • State funding for new students doesn’t arrive right away - funding for increased student populations is delayed for a year.

  • The school district uses projected enrollment and digest growth to prepare the annual budget therefore we use historic data to help guide our budget planning.
