The Panorama School Board met on Monday night in regular session.

The Board approved its 2022 fiscal year certified budget, following a public hearing. Superintendent Shawn Holloway talked about what next fiscal year’s tax levy rate will be.

“So our anticipated levy rate will be $13.29 (per $1,000 of property valuation). So it’s very stable. It’s actually a decrease from last year. So we feel good about that for our taxpayers.”

The Board also approved to authorize the redemption of general obligation bonds from 2015 at a lower interest rate and will pay off the life of the bond three years early. Additionally, the Board set the public hearing for May 10th’s regular meeting to refund another bond from a $3.3 million school infrastructure sales and services and use tax revenue bonds. 

Next, the Board approved an annual agreement with Heartland Area Education Agency for nutrition items for the district, along with an equipment purchase of a router for the industrial technology department, the first and second readings from board policy reviews and the Board chose to continue to have masks optional district-wide.
