What happened

On Aug. 17 the board voted 4-0 to put a question on the Nov. 3, 2026 ballot. It asks voters to let the district spend $1.1 million more each year than the state limit allows, for three years starting in 2027-28. The current extra-spending approval ends June 30, 2027.

Why it matters to families

Without this money, the district has said it would need to plan budget cuts. A yes vote keeps local property-tax funding; the result decides next year's budget.

The evidence

Aug. 17 minutes record both resolutions (set the amount and hold the election). May 18 and July 20 minutes show a five-year forecast and the choice of a three-year term at $1.1 million.
