District news
Voters asked to let the district collect its full approved mill levy
What happened
On Aug. 26 the board voted 5-0 to put a question on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot. It would let the district collect the full amount of property tax voters approved in 1988, 2002 and 2018, up to a new state limit of 27%. The district currently operates at the old 25% limit. It estimates about $2 million more a year, with no new tax.
Why it matters to families
The extra money is meant for safety, career classes, teacher pay and academic gains. Voters had to say yes before the district could collect it. News reports say Westminster's measure passed; results were unofficial.
The evidence
The Aug. 26 election resolution describes the question. A district news post of Sept. 9 gives the $2 million estimate and four funding priorities. Chalkbeat reported Nov. 5 that Westminster was among the measures that passed.
