AUBURN — The School Committee on Wednesday approve a budget of $45.34 million for 2019-20.
The spending plan will next go before the City Council and then to a referendum next month.
At Wednesday night’s meeting, the City Council asked for a reduction beyond the zero percent local impact in order to help reduce the overall city tax rate.
The School Committee added $100,000 to the fund balance that would be used to reduce the local tax commitment, according to Superintendent Katy Grondin.
The amount of the fund balance increased to $883,025. This translates to a 5 cent reduction to the property tax rate from last year, based on last year’s city valuation.
The budget is scheduled to go before voters in a referendum June 11.
