The USD 251 North Lyon County budget for the ongoing school year is set.
Board members approved the budget as part of work last week. Superintendent Bob Blair was pleased to report minimal adjustments for the budget as a whole and the local option budget specifically.
Blair also says the new early learning center in Americus will add students to the overall headcount, which benefits the district in two ways: one, because budgets are based on prior-year headcount and two, because of the state’s financial weightings and additional dollars attached to preschool students. Also, Blair says districts can count the 345 full-time equivalent students from two years ago instead of the 313 from last year. Blair says this year’s enrollment is tracking along with enrollment from 2020, although final numbers won’t be announced until at least late September.
