Sedona-Oak Creek School District Proposition 447, Budget Increase Override
A continuation of the General Maintenance and Operation Budget that includes an amount of up to 15% in excess of the revenue control limit for the 2019/2020 fiscal year and for six subsequent years (subject to certain reductions provided by statute in years six and seven). SOCSD’s 15% budget override is by law required to be reduced by one-third in each of 2019/2020 and 2020/2021. Because the existing override reduces by one-third in fiscal year 2019/2020, the proposed 15% override budget will be approximately $274,488 higher than the District’s 2019/2020 alternate budget and the District’s secondary tax rate required to fund this amount is estimated to be $0.05 per $100 of net limited assessed property valuation.
