The proposed 2018-19 operating budget shows $283.5 million in anticipated revenues, up from $253.6 million last year. The $30 million increase resulted from the district under-budgeting anticipated revenues last year because of state funding issues in recent years.

The proposed budget shows $275.9 million in expected expenses, up from $264.2 million last year.
