(Elk Horn) Exira-EHK Superintendent Trevor Miller reports the district is in very good financial shape after passing the 2024 FY Budget.
The tax levy rate is dropping to $11.66 per thousand dollars of valuation. “Financially our district is in really good shape now.” Miller says, “We’ve given our staff some really good raises the last couple of years. Our tax rate is going down two cents.”
Miller says the budget allows them to prepay $150,00 on their general obligation bond for a 2nd year in a row. “That’s when we did the renovations to the baseball field, the HVAC system, the football field, and some of the other building improvements. That was $3.9 million. We are paying that down early. It was 20 years and we are trying to get it done in 15-16 years so we can save 3-4 years off of that.”
A list of 28 graduates has been approved. Commencement will take place at 2:00 p.m. on May 14th in Elk Horn.
