KP Budget: What it Means for Wrentham

The King Philip School Committee voted Monday night to present a to the three towns that make up the district.

According to KP numbers, a level services budget would increase Wrentham's assessment by 23.41 percent over last year. The total charged to Wrentham would be $7,685,102, up from last year's $6,227,090.

All three towns would see an assessment increase, as the district will no longer have $450,000 from the federal jobs bill.

This decrease, along with several other cost drivers, would bring up KP's budget from $24.7 million in fiscal year 2012 to $27.4 million in the coming fiscal year. The amount to be assessed on the three towns would likewise increase, to $19,270,261 from $16,075,110.

Norfolk's assessment would increase 18.41 percent (from $6,143,322 to $7,274,389), and Plainville's by 16.36 percent (from $3,704,698 to $4,310,771).

Wrentham accounts for 41.54 percent of the district's population. Norfolk and Plainville account for 33.43 percent and 25.03 percent, respectively.
