What happened
Voters approved the 2026-27 school budget, 1,133 yes to 506 no. It is $186,315,191, up $5.5 million (3.04%) from $180.8 million. The property tax levy rises 2.58%, which is within the state tax cap.
Why it matters to families
This sets taxes and school spending for next year. Last year the district went over the tax cap to avoid big cuts. This year it stayed under the cap and made staffing and program changes.
The evidence
The clerk read the results in the May 19, 2026 transcript. Budget size, levy and cap compliance are in the budget newsletter and April 22, 2026 adoption presentation. Auto-generated captions.
