District news
Board puts a mill levy override on the Nov. 3 ballot; news reports it passed
What happened
On Aug. 26 the board voted 5-0 to approve a Mill Levy Override resolution for the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot to raise teacher pay and help keep teachers. News reports say the override was for up to $5.6 million and that voters approved it on Nov. 3.
Why it matters to families
An override is an extra local property tax. Speakers said teacher pay in the district is about $2,000 below the state average while living costs have risen more than 18% since 2023.
The evidence
The Aug. 26 agenda lists the MLO resolution; the recording shows the 5-0 roll call. The $5.6 million size and the passage come from news coverage (Sopris Sun, Chalkbeat), not district records.
