What happened

The January 19, 2026 agenda lists resolutions to let the district exceed its revenue limit by $1,800,000 per year for three years for non-recurring purposes and to call the referendum election. The district's referendum page says voters approved it on April 7, 2026 with 57% support, at a projected cost of $56 a year per $100,000 of home value.

Why it matters to families

The money is meant to stabilize finances, reduce short-term borrowing and keep programs and buildings in shape, while the district says it still has one of the lowest mill rates among 39 area districts.

The evidence

The agenda lists a final review of the referendum, the two resolutions and a communication plan. The result comes from the district's referendum web page.
