At the April 16, 2024 budget adoption meeting, the William Floyd Board of Education adopted its proposed budget for the 2024-25 school year, which calls for a slight increase of less than one percent (0.99%), which estimates to a yearly increase of $92 (0.25 cents per day) for the averaged assessed home in the community (the average assessed home in the community is 1,995). This modest proposed increase, which maintains and adds programs, comes on the heels of the past three years in which the district held the budget to a zero increase in 2021-22, a nearly $5 million reduction in the tax levy in 2022-23, and a $17.5 million reduction in the tax levy in 2023-24.
