Oxford School Districts to vote on flat budget Tuesday

OXFORD – Oxford Academy School district residents will go to the polls today from 1–9 p.m., to vote on a $19,597,769 budget for the 2016–2017 school year.
Likewise, residents will also decide whether to authorize spending of up to $229,000 to purchase two new 30-passenger school buses; and elect one school board member. A decision on the Oxford Memorial Library budget and election of one Oxford Memorial Library Board Member will also be polled today.
2017's proposed budged, if passed by district voters, will not raise Oxford's school tax levy for yet another year. While the district's expenditures increased slightly (2.69 percent), the district was able to offset an overall levy uptick with capital savings of nearly $340,000.
“On the operations side, the plan calls for the maintaining of reserves at an adequate and responsible level, while at the
same time maintaining a 0% increase in the tax levy,” said District Superintendent Shawn Bissetta. “From an operations and infrastructure standpoint, we are utilizing a detailed succession schedule for replacement of equipment and buses. This planned replacement schedule ensures the stabilization of long-term cost to the district, and assists us in maintaining a safe and efficiently operating district.”
