Board discusses a possible 2028 operating referendum
What happened
At a May 4 working meeting the board reviewed a 2026-27 budget that expects a surplus of about $750,000 and counts on its voter-approved operating referendum growing from $6.2 million to $6.9 million. Members also discussed a possible 2028 operating referendum.
Why it matters to families
A referendum asks voters for extra property tax money for school operations. Planning for 2028 shows the board expects budget pressure after the current referendum.
The evidence
The May 4, 2026 minutes say the board discussed a potential 2028 operational referendum; the meeting agenda gives the revenue and surplus figures. No referendum has been proposed.
