School Finance UpdatesFrom the Desk of the Business ManagerGreetings Cascade Community,This message is to inform the patrons of Cascade School District about important updates and upcoming events in the finance department.In this issue of the Courier, you will find an official notice regarding a resolution for a Budget Amendment. Cascade Elementary School has been notified by the Office of Public Instruction that we are eligible to receive an additional $40,364.80 in General Fund support. These funds are being allocated to address the unexpected increase in student enrollment that was not anticipated during the original budget adoption process. This additional funding comes from Montana's HB 36, passed during the 2023 Legislative Session, which provides financial support to schools experiencing significant enrollment growth. Importantly, this funding comes from the state’s education budget and does not increase local tax obligations.Mark Your Calendar: School Election – May 6, 2025The annual school election will be held on May 6, 2025, and conducted via mail ballot. Trustee candidates must file their declaration of intent no later than 5:00 PM on March 27, 2025. Forms are available on the school website under the “Election” tab.Several key issues will appear on the ballot, including: Two Trustee Seats (3-year terms): One (1) Elementary & High School seat representing School District No. 3 & B. One (1) High School seat representing Cascade School District B (residency in the Ulm school district required). Technology Levies: Voters will decide on an elementary technology levy and a high school technology levy, designed to enhance technology resources for students and staff.Further details regarding the levies will be shared soon.
