Northport school BOE adopts 2024-25 budget

The Northport Public School Board of Education (BOE) approved its proposed $6 million general fund budget for the 2024-25 year at its regular meeting/ budget hearing Monday night.

The projected budget, which will go into effect on July 1, is based on 13.3880 mills to be levied on the taxable value of nonhomestead and non-qualified agricultural property.

“This budget feels in line with the last few years. Revenues and expenditures have gone up, we’ve been able to maintain a fund balance that keeps the district in a good position, and we continue to appreciate the community support of the school,” Northport Superintendent Neil Wetherbee said. “We’re able to do great things for our students because of the tax revenue that we have.”
