Revenue model

1. Public Tax-Funded Appropriation: ConVal is a public K-12 school district (SAU #1) whose operating budget is approved by voters at an annual School District Meeting; on March 11, 2026 voters approved nine of ten warrant articles including the 2026-2027 budget. Revenue comes from local property taxes, state education aid, and federal funds (e.g., ESSER), rather than from tuition or commercial sales.
