Overview: The Vernon School Board meeting was dominated by discussions on the district’s complex budgetary challenges, with a focus on state aid reductions, tax levy increases, and the impact on local taxpayers. The board acknowledged the financial strain imposed by the state’s 2% tax levy cap, which limits the district’s ability to increase revenue despite rising operational costs. This cap effectively reduces the increase to about 1.4% of the total budget, exacerbating funding pressures amidst increasing expenses in areas like health benefits and liability insurance.
