Read from the town’s budget and official records.
Regional School Unit 12
Alna’s elementary school district, shared with Chelsea, Palermo, Somerville, Westport Island, Whitefield and more. It’s its own government, with a budget separate from the town’s.
Of the $14,570 per pupil, $6,979 goes to the classroom (teachers, aides, supplies); the rest to buses, buildings, counselors and administration. Building projects and debt payments aren’t in the per-pupil figure.
Maine districts overall: 52% local, 40% state, 8% federal.

Thank you for being a neighbor
Revenue is well above spending. That usually means Alna collects property taxes for the school district and county and passes them on, so only its own spending is counted.
Alna didn’t report all of its 2022 figures to the Census Bureau, so most of these numbers are the Bureau’s estimates.

Can I afford it? →The median bill homeowners report to the Census survey (bills of $10,000+ are reported as “$10,000+”). The effective rate is that bill ÷ the median home value: a rough guide, not the official tax rate. In a town this small the estimate has a wide margin.
