Budget Committee Approves 2026-27 Budget and Tax Levies

The budget committee approved the 2026-27 budget document and the associated tax rates and amounts. The approval followed a lengthy discussion about budget considerations, including potential cuts, staffing impacts, and the district's long-term financial outlook. An amendment to reduce the general fund by $3 million was proposed but ultimately not adopted. The committee also discussed the importance of community feedback and the need for continued advocacy for state funding. The budget was separated into two motions: one for the budget document itself and another for the tax levies.
