Why?

As in the past 10 years, District revenues are going down and costs are going up, causing the Clayton School District to experience significant deficits due to decreasing revenue limits, reduced state aid and increased operational costs. In response to these projected shortfalls the school board is asking the district taxpayers to be authorized to exceed the revenue limit specified by $1,125,000 for the 2022-2023 school year; by $1,265,000 for the 2023-2024 school year; by $1,405,000 for the 2024-2025 school year; and $1,545,000 for the 2025-2026 school year and thereafter for recurring purposes consisting of operational expenses.
