2Q08-d9 Budget Process
The Tax Goal that the Board approved in January 2007 provided staff with a tax
rate increase target for fiscal year 2007-08. That goal was a good first .step in
balancing School and County needs with maintaining taxes at a level that many
residents could afford. A natural progression might be to expand the 2008-09
Tax Goal to include other guidelines and priorities that the Board may see as
necessary.
