District says another referendum is not in current plans
What happened
Officials said the 2024 operating referendum added $1 million to the revenue limit in each of 2024-25, 2025-26 and 2026-27, a permanent $3 million total, and that after 2026-27 only state per-student increases apply. With a capital referendum also passed, an additional referendum is not in the district's current reality.
Why it matters to families
Property taxes and the budget will depend on state limits after this year.
