The Wyoming Area Board of Education has finalized its budget for the 2025-2026 school year, which includes a 3.5% increase in property taxes. This decision was made during the board's regular session on Tuesday, reflecting the district's ongoing efforts to address funding needs while maintaining educational standards.
The approved budget aims to support various programs and initiatives within the school district, ensuring that students receive quality education and resources.

This move has been met with mixed reactions from the community, as stakeholders weigh the implications for local education and resources. Overall, the board's decisions highlight the ongoing challenges and priorities facing the Wyoming Area educational system.
