Tax rate stays the same, but typical home tax bill rises to $1,600

What happened
For 2026-27 the district proposed keeping its tax rate at $1.2252 per $100 of value. Because the median home value rose from $118,580 to $130,590, the estimated school tax bill on that home goes from $1,453 to $1,600, about 10% more.
Why it matters to families
Families who own homes will likely pay more in school taxes even though the rate did not change. The board adopted the 2026-27 budget on August 31, 2026.
