The Higley Unified School District Governing Board unanimously passed a third and final revised budget for fiscal year 2022-23 at its May 10 meeting.
Under the revision, the district’s maintenance and operations budget increased $144,200 from $119.87 million to $120.02 million while the capital budget went from $28.24 million to $29.24 million.
The maintenance and operations, or M&O, budget pays for the day-to-day operations of the district, including most salaries. The increase came from a small increase of 17.20 in average daily membership, a key enrollment figure in the state’s budget formula.
