What happened

On October 6, 2026 the board voted 5-0 to add one mill to the Debt Free Schools mill, for a total of 7.819 mills in fiscal year 2027. A mill is a property-tax rate of $1 for every $1,000 of assessed value. The same meeting included a CFO presentation on the increase and a mailer showing the tax impact to homeowners.

Why it matters to families

Homeowners will pay a little more in property tax, and the district gets money for building and equipment needs without borrowing.
