Board puts a continuing 1.25% earned-income tax on the November ballot

What happened

The board voted to ask residents to approve a 1.25% earned-income tax for current expenses, starting January 1, 2027 and continuing without an end date.

Why it matters to families

The district says the tax is intended to raise about $6.18 million each year for operating costs; voters will decide whether that new local revenue begins in 2027.

The evidence

The July 6 minutes record the adopted resolution, 1.25% rate, continuing duration, current-expense purpose, January 1 start date, and November 3, 2026 election.
