The Pella School Board approved the upcoming fiscal year budget at their meeting this week. Superintendent Greg Ebeling says they reviewed the certified budget for 2019-20, with a slight decline coming in the overall tax levy. Ebeling says generally speaking, the financial health of the district is relatively strong, especially as enrollment continues to increase. The next steps for the school board will be to consider more line-by-line budget items, using the documents they approved this week as a guide in that process.
