Print this story MICHAEL STRAND Funding Salina’s public schools will cost the owner of a $100,000 home roughly an extra $41 next year, as school board members re-affirmed Tuesday a plan to raise property taxes by just more than 3.6 mills for the 2009-08 school year. The bulk of that increase is because of an increase in the district’s capital outlay budget, from 4 mills to 6 mills, which was approved by the board in February. In all, the 6 mills will raise about $2.5 million, with the money split between upgrading technology, such as computers and computer networks, and building maintenance and improvements and vehicle replacement. District business manager Lisa Peters spent more than an hour going through the inch-thick budget Tuesday with board members, explaining page-by-page where the money goes, as well as any significant changes from previous years.
