School tax rate for 2026-27 is $7.53 per $1,000, down from $8.32

What happened

At the Oct. 20 meeting the business director presented the 2026-27 levy: the school tax rate falls to $7.53 per $1,000 of value from $8.32. About $0.86 of each year's rate goes to the state voucher program rather than the district.

Why it matters to families

A homeowner with a $100,000 home would pay $753 for schools, down from $832. The district keeps less of each dollar because of the voucher payment.

The evidence

The Oct. 20 recording (auto-captions) shows the presentation of last year's and this year's tax rates and an example for a $100,000 home.
