Crunching budget numbers

Every year, the Bluffton-Harrison Metropolitan School District must approve an initial budget to submit to the state. From that budget, they create an initial rate, which is how much taxpayers will pay per every $100 of assessed value. From the rate, and other variables, the school determines how much revenue they'll receive, known as the levy. The state then determines how much it will initially appropriate.


Salaries make up a majority of the general funds.
