Board sends $212.6 million 2026-27 budget to voters
What happened
On April 15 the board voted 6-0 to put the 2026-27 budget to voters. It is $212,622,704, up 3.19% ($6.58 million), with a tax levy up 2.48% to $147,199,617. Voters took it up on May 19.
Why it matters to families
The budget sets school spending and property taxes for the year. The district says the levy increase stays within the state tax cap. If voters had rejected it twice, a $209.1 million contingent budget with cuts to electives, teams and clubs would have applied.
The evidence
The April 15 minutes record the 6-0 vote. The adoption slides show the totals and the contingent budget. At the July 1 meeting the superintendent said voters approved the budget in May (recording captions).
