Board proposes $727 million budget; voters approved it May 19

What happened

The board adopted a 2026-27 budget of $727,096,955, up 5.6% (about $38.6 million) from $688.5 million. The tax levy is $118,389,147. The board's resolution says the levy is within the state tax cap. The September agenda says voters approved the budget on May 19, 2026.

Why it matters to families

This is how much the district will spend and how much comes from local property taxes. Health insurance rises about $7.8 million (8.7%), and the transfer to the capital fund drops from $39 million to $36 million.

The evidence

April 16 minutes record the 7-0 vote to adopt the budget and levy. The budget file lists the totals. The Sept 16 agenda tax-rate item says voters approved it on May 19, 2026.
