USD 458 proposes a 2026–27 tax levy above the revenue-neutral rate

What happened

The district’s Sept. 14 agenda proposes a resolution authorizing property-tax levies above the revenue-neutral rates for the 2026–27 budget. The proposed resolution is scheduled for a roll-call vote at the revenue-neutral-rate hearing; the agenda does not state the tax-rate or revenue amount.

Why it matters to families

If approved, the budget would collect property taxes above the revenue-neutral benchmark, a districtwide funding decision with implications for taxpayers and school funding.

The evidence

The official hearing agenda says the 2026–27 budget levy exceeds the calculated revenue-neutral tax rates and presents Resolution 091426-1 for adoption by roll-call vote. This is a proposed action, not a recorded board decision.
