The Yankton School Board officially approved a thirty-million-dollar budget for the new school year.
Superintendent Wayne Kindle says while they can operate this year, there could be future problems….

Kindle says the half cent sales tax increase passed for higher teacher pay doesn’t solve all their budget issues….

Kindle says they will have to once again have a discussion about a property tax opt out…..

Kindle says the budget carries over about a one-million-dollar structural deficit.
