State revenue is the largest portion of the district's income. Local revenue comes not only from real estate and personal property taxes, but also from sources such as fees. County revenue comes largely from a county-wide tax on property owned by utility companies.
Federal revenue is earmarked for food service, children with special needs, and grant awards.
County and federal funds contribute the least to the district's budget. By state law, residential property is assessed at 19 percent of its market value. Long-range planning and careful budget management have helped the district maintain financial stability.
