The Board passed the final 2012-2013 school budget that contains a zero dollar tax increase for a home assessed at $244,562, the average value of a home in Belleville, according to Edward Appleton, board of education secretary/business administrator.
This is the second year in a row that the average tax bill has not increased because of the school budget, administrators say.
