Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The increase in the general fund levy is primarily driven by continued enrollment growth. The board also compared this to a second scenario tied to a November 3 referendum, which could lower the general fund levy to $3.5 million if voters approve the measure.
