Budget crisis

edit

The district is not currently in a budget crisis. The budget is balanced for the next two school years.[when?]

Budget problems will surely exist throughout the state as businesses closed during the pandemic, reducing state tax revenue. The state is also experiencing declining enrollment as a whole in public schools.[2]
