The budget calls for total expenditures of $1,805,221, significantly less than the 2015-2016 budget of $2,060,361.
“We amended last year’s budget in the black, we are very fortunate,” said Prairie Valley Superintendent Tim West. “We want to make the best use of our finances in the best possible ways because we understand times are tough for the taxpayers.”
