Voters decide a $900,000-a-year school operating request on Nov. 3

What happened

On August 17 the board voted to ask voters to let the district spend $900,000 more each year for five years (2027-28 through 2031-32). It is a one-time-style, non-recurring request for daily operating costs, not a building project. The district estimates about $20 a year on a $100,000 home. The vote was held Nov. 3, 2026; a canvass was set for Nov. 6.

Why it matters to families

The district's earlier $800,000 yearly authority has ended. If voters said no, the district says it would have to cut at least $900,000 a year starting in 2027-28, with no specific cuts chosen yet.

The evidence

The district's referendum page states the amount, term and tax estimate, and the August 17 board minutes record the unanimous votes. The result was not in the collected documents.
