What happened

The September 28 agenda recommends setting the district’s 2026–27 property-tax levy at $5.2514 per $100 of assessed valuation; this is a proposed action, not a recorded board approval. The proposed rate is divided into $4.1639 for the Operating Fund and $1.0875 for Debt Service.

Why it matters to families

The levy sets the districtwide property-tax rate supporting operations and debt service, affecting local taxpayers and school funding; the agenda does not establish the final adopted rate.
