In this episode, we sit down with Director of HR & Finance Kris Deburine to unpack one of the most important, and most misunderstood, parts of our annual Mmeting, school finance.

We start with the heart of our community, reflecting on our Veterans Day program and the incredible student leadership behind it. Then we dig into the budget: how school funding works, how equalization aid is calculated, and why this year’s local levy increased.

If you’ve ever looked at your tax bill and wondered, “Why did this go up?”, this episode breaks it down in plain language.
