Voters reject school tax increase

What happened

The board accepted results of the November 2025 tax ratification election. It failed, about 776 votes for and 2,218 against. A trustee said a required early-voting notice was not posted.

Why it matters to families

Without the extra tax money, the district had to cut costs. It later said about $5.7M in planned raises depended on this vote.

The evidence

At the November 12, 2025 meeting, staff read the canvass totals and the board accepted them. At the March 4, 2026 workshop, trustees discussed the failed election and the raises tied to it. Evidence comes from the district's auto-generated YouTube captions, which can garble names and numbers.
