Budget and Taxes

Budget development is a year-round process. Developing the annual school budget proposal is a year-round process that involves the Mayfield Board of Education and district and school leaders. The process culminates when residents go to the polls to vote on a school budget proposal for the following year and to elect Board of Education members.

Budget stays below state “tax cap” while adding programming and staff

Mayfield Central School District residents will go to the polls Tuesday, May 21, to vote on a proposed $22,489,083 school budget for the 2024-25 school year. The proposed budget keeps the tax levy increase to 2.40%, which is lower than the district’s allowable limit as calculated under the state’s “tax cap” formula. Because the proposed tax levy increase is below the cap, the proposed budget will only require a simple majority vote for approval.

The MCSD Board of Education and administrative team have developed a plan that keeps the districts focus on the students by providing additional opportunities for academic success, and at the same time adopting a responsible budget.

“The district has given careful consideration to all expenditures, ensuring that we are mindful of the financial concerns of taxpayers, while expanding on our educational programming and supporting all students in their learning endeavors,” said Superintendent Christopher Harper.

The proposed budget would increase September school tax bills by approximately $61.20, or $5.10 per month, for the average homeowner with a $100,000 tax assessment. The Board of Education unanimously approved the proposed budget on April 9. Community voting will take place from 12 noon to 8 p.m. on Tuesday, May 21, in the Gym Lobby at the Jr./Sr. High School, 27 School St., Mayfield.
