The Mountain View School Division approved their budget for the 2019-20 year.
It happened last night at the board's regular council meeting.
The mill rate is set at 15.63, that’s up from 15.34 last year.
The division says the impact on a home assessed at 150 thousand dollars would see an increase of $19.03.
The budget will increase by 0.84 per cent to $43,364,760. The Special Levy approved for 2019 is $16,992,673, an increase of $455,091.
Secretary-Treasurer Bart Michaleski says it was a difficult budget process with little room for increased costs. He also says the desired goal is to channel resources to support initiatives identified in the Davison Plan. The plan focuses on literacy, numeracy, career education, mental health and safe and caring schools.
