Washington County 2018 budget includes new teachers, new schools without a tax increase
WASHINGTON COUNTY, Utah - + Video – Growth in Washington County is creating some warranted changes to the Washington County School District. The school board has a preliminary budget for next year which includes the addition of 35 new teachers, as well as a potential increase in salaries and three new schools. The good news is, taxpayers aren’t expected to see an increase in their taxes this year thanks to a 4% overall increase in school funding from the state of Utah and some pre-planning by the school board.
The 2017-18 Washington County School District budget is currently on-line at the district’s website. The final hearing and vote is scheduled for the board’s next meeting, June 13 and is open to the public.
