Glen Lake adopts 2024-25 budget early

The Glen Lake Board of Education is the first of four county school districts to adopt the 2024-2025 budget, before classes are recessed for the summer.

The board voted unanimously last week to adopt the spending plan for the new school year which begins July 1. Total revenue of $27,532,928 is anticipated for the coming year. This includes $8.4 million in funds carried over from the 2023-24 school year.

A 15.0696-mill levy, collected on all non-homestead/non-agricultural property, is the largest source of revenue, estimated to generate $11.8 million. This year’s budget is the first based on a summer levy instead of the fall levy from previous years.
