District overview
Funding structure, how it compares to peers, and where major projects stand.
An elected seven-member board sets district policy and adopts a budget for a community vote. The 2026–27 budget proposal relies primarily on property taxes, alongside state aid and other receipts. Spending and levy figures below describe the district proposal; the superintendent subsequently reported voter approval.
The proposal uses $51.73 million in property taxes, about 78.4% of the proposed budget.
The proposal includes $8.89 million in state aid and $2.30 million in miscellaneous receipts, plus appropriated balances and reserves.
The board holds public meetings and considers an annual budget before the community vote. Standing committees include audit and finance, facilities, and policy.
The budget projects 1,628 students in 2026–27 and $65.95 million in total appropriations, including benefits, transportation and debt service.
The per-student figure is a simple budget-to-enrollment calculation, not the cost of instruction alone.
$65,947,830 divided by 1,628 projected students; includes districtwide services, benefits, transportation and debt.
The district is implementing building systems, Farragut instructional space and Burke athletic field projects approved in June 2025. In September 2026 it reported state-review delays affecting Farragut.
