What happened

The board approved a resolution allowing the district’s 2026–27 property-tax levy to exceed the state’s revenue-neutral rate. The Sept. 14 vote was 7–0; the minutes do not state the approved rate or the amount of any tax increase.

Why it matters to families

A levy above the revenue-neutral rate can mean the district collects more property-tax revenue than it would by holding collections at the prior-year level, affecting local taxpayers. The minutes do not provide enough figures to quantify the effect.

The evidence

The minutes state that the property-tax levy financing the 2025–26 budget exceeds the revenue-neutral rate for the 2026–27 budget, and record a 7–0 vote to adopt the resolution approving a 2026–27 tax rate in excess of that rate.
