April School Board Agenda
2015-2016 budget. The budget funds the people, facilities, and programs that deliver the quality education that is the hallmark of UCF. And the budget also determines the property tax rates for the coming year. The current version of the budget (to be finalized by June 15) would spend $79.2M (up 4.28% from prior year) and millage rates would increase by 2.89%. The main drivers of increases are fringe benefit costs and mandatory contributions for employee pensions.
