Wells Springs School Board estimates a decrease in taxes to taxpayers.
On January 4th, 2023 the Wells Springs School Board finalized a fiscally responsible school budget to present to taxpayers on the upcoming ballot. The decision includes maintaining all existing services.

The board also voted to propose a ballot measure to transfer a portion of our current surplus, $125,000 into the capital maintenance fund for future building projects. With current information from the Vermont Legislature (subject to change), the board estimates the budget and the capital maintenance fund will result in an overall decrease to taxpayers this year.

The final budget was the outcome of months of discussion and data collection the board considered:
The rising cost of educating our students.
Areas where costs could be reduced.
The opinions of the community who respond to the survey.
Input from citizens who spoke at board meetings.
Input from our recent public budget forum

All community engagement was greatly appreciated and helped the board in formulating the finalized school budget including an overall DECREASE to taxpayers this year. We hope to have your support on the ballot this year. We will also be available on March 1st, 2023 at 7PM (WVS) to answer any further questions you may have. Please support our budget.
