The Mitchell Board of Education on Monday approved the 2021-22 K-14 budget for the Mitchell School District, paving the way to further enhance the quality of education in the district, according to school leaders.
Joe Graves, superintendent for the Mitchell School District, said the budgeting process is long but vital to bringing the best possible educational experience to students and faculty at the school. This year's budget should help continue that tradition.
"It means that our fiscal house remains in order," Graves told the Mitchell Republic following the meeting. "We've been proactively planning ahead for things like the (new) high school because it's a very difficult project. We've been conservative in our budgeting and accounting and it's gone very well. We've managed to expand our programming and increased quality while still maintaining a budget that is sound and supportive of the taxpayers."
