Voters asked for $3.95 million a year more, ongoing, from 2027-28

What happened

On Aug. 18, 2026 the board approved asking voters to let the district exceed the state revenue limit by $3,950,000 a year starting in 2027-28, for recurring (ongoing) purposes, and called the Nov. 3 referendum. News reports say it passed with 57.9% yes (2,506 to 1,821).

Why it matters to families

The district's current $3.1 million-a-year referendum ends after 2026-27. A recurring referendum replaces it with a larger permanent amount, which raises local property taxes but avoids a big budget gap.

The evidence

The Aug. 18 minutes record both resolutions and the full ballot question. The March 16 fiscal forecast shows revenue dropping by about $2.8 million in 2027-28 if the old referendum is not renewed. The vote result comes from a news report, not a district record.
