Board endorses a statewide income-tax measure to raise school funding
What happened
On June 8, 2026 the board adopted Resolution 2026-06-02 endorsing Initiative 195, a proposed statewide graduated income tax. On September 14 it adopted Resolution 2026-09-01 endorsing the same measure, now numbered Amendment 87, which is on the November 2026 ballot. Supporters say it would create a new state fund for K-12, health care and early childhood.
