Board moves possible tax referendum to April 2027
What happened
On June 23 the board voted 4-3 to plan a possible operating referendum for the April 2027 election instead of November 2026. The district faces a structural deficit of about $17.8 million a year and says no referendum has been approved.
Why it matters to families
A referendum asks voters to approve extra property taxes for school operations. If it does not pass, the district says cuts such as bigger classes and fewer staff would begin in 2027-28.
The evidence
June 23, 2026 minutes record a 4-3 roll call vote to move the referendum timeline to the April 2027 election, and the board removed some items from its list of possible cuts.
