WB Reduction Update

Thank you for taking time to look at Western Brown’s website. We have attempted to do our very best to keep everyone up-to-date with the state of our schools. The hot topic this quarter has been the budgetary reductions. Western Brown Local Schools is responsible for operating a 30 million dollar annual budget. 80% of the budget goes toward paying salaries and benefits ($24 million dollars). The remaining costs are the intangibles such as heating and air, equipment, supplies, maintenance of the buildings, grounds and transportation. Click on the Treasurer’s link to see more specific expenditure and revenue details. If you have specific questions, contact the Mr. Dunlap, Treasurer, or myself. We will be more than happy to meet with groups or individuals upon request.
