The Pella School Board met Monday in regular session, and approved the proposed 2020-21 fiscal year budget for the district. The board approved the upcoming tax levy of $14.60 per $1,000 of valuation, which is a slight decrease from the current rate.

The board also approved a resolution for an agreement with the City of Pella and Marion County for the Prairie Ridge Urban Renewal Plan, which approves tax increment financing for up to 15 years to help finance infrastructure for the housing development.
