School spending is set to increase 4.76 percent in Falmouth, but it would have no impact on the tax rate under a budget proposal that voters will consider on Tuesday.

The proposed school budget for fiscal year 2014-15 is $31.7 million, a $1.4 million increase over the $30.2 million in current spending, according to budget documents.

The spending increase is projected to be offset by a $1.1 million increase in state revenue and a $300,000 increase in property taxes on new homes.

Budget highlights include 3.6 additional educational technicians in the special education program, technology and transportation increases and debt service for middle school improvements.

At $14.12 per $1,000 of assessed property value, Falmouth’s current tax rate is the lowest among 11 communities in Greater Portland.
