What happened

On October 19 the board approved a 2026-27 budget of $9,912,493 and a tax levy of $3,815,064. Last year's budget was $9,641,716 and the levy was $3,351,322, so the levy rose by about $464,000, or 13.8%, while the budget rose about 2.8%.

Why it matters to families

The levy is the part of the budget paid by property owners in the district. A bigger share is coming from local taxes this year.
