What happened

On December 8 the board approved a referendum for April 7, 2026. It would let the district exceed the state revenue limit by $4,525,000 a year for five years starting in 2026-27, for operations, maintenance, safety and programs.

Why it matters to families

A referendum lets voters allow spending above the state cap. It is the largest funding choice the district faced this year.

The evidence

December 8 minutes record the board approving the resolution and the referendum election. Later minutes refer to a '2026 Referendum' for security upgrades, but the collected records do not give vote totals.
