The Oskaloosa Community School District has set the date for a public hearing for their 2024-25 budget.

The school board unanimously approved the budget for publishing during their regular meeting on Tuesday, which added up to $42.4 million dollars. The tax levy for the district would be set at $13.50 per $1,000 in property tax, a reduction of 5 cents from last year.

Before the budget is officially approved, the board will conduct a public hearing for its approval; that public hearing has been scheduled for April 24 at 5:30pm.
