After renovations to the Wilky Complex, the Monticello Schools budget is trending down slightly. 

Adam Clapp, Superintendent of Monticello Schools says the Corporate Personal Property Replacement Tax, or CPPRT is down 33% since last year, which affects their budget.

CPPRT funds go up and down each year with the state economy which can be hard on schools. Clapp notes it can be hard to plan for its ebbs and flows.

Clapp explains they don't take on projects they can't afford to complete. When they have an expensive project they always stay aware of incoming revenue and how to use it.
