What happened

The board placed a 0.75% earned-income-tax proposal on the November 3, 2026 ballot. It would fund current expenses for five years starting January 1, 2027.

Why it matters to families

The district says the tax is intended to raise about $1.36 million each year. The vote will decide whether the district gets that added operating money.
