Germantown Municipal School District saw a $700,000 increase in its operating revenue this fiscal year, but that’s less of a rise than the district has seen in previous years.
The operating revenues for day-to-day expenses total $77.5 million. The Germantown Board of Education discussed it in a work session last Tuesday as they look to the budget for the coming fiscal year. The school board will vote on the budget in April and May before Germantown’s Board of Mayor and Aldermen also considers it ahead of July 1, when the budget takes effect with a new fiscal year.
“This is probably the toughest budget we’ve ever had in the history of the district,” Chairman Brian Curry said.
