Brentwood School District Director of Communications Sam Rayburn sent the following information to be shared on 40 South News. It includes information about a coming tax rate hearing, a tour of the middle and high schools, a new school resource officer and construction updates.
Tax Rate Hearing
Each September, Boards of Education throughout Missouri are required to set their district tax rate for the coming year. Superintendents work with the State Auditor and County Assessor to get the information they need to set the new tax rate. The Brentwood School District tax rate hearing for FY 2019‐2020 will be held on Tuesday, September 24 at 7 p.m. in the Conference Center at 1201 Hanley Industrial Court. The monthly Board of Education business meeting will take place immediately following the tax rate hearing.
Middle/High School Tour – October 15, 2019
Before the October 15 Board of Education meeting, the Brentwood School District will host a community tour of the Middle and High School to showcase construction progress and completed areas such as the cafeteria. For more information, please check our website at www.brentwoodmoschools.org.
