Natchitoches Parish School Board adopts 2025 tax levy, amends one millage to 20 mills
Summary
The Natchitoches Parish School Board approved its 2025 tax levy and an amendment raising the BRE millage for Consolidated School District 10 from 15 to 20 mills after a roll-call vote.
The Natchitoches Parish School Board voted to adopt its 2025 tax levy and approved an amendment changing the BRE millage for Consolidated School District 10 to 20 mills.
The board approved the resolution that levies several millages on the 2025 tax roll, including a constitutional tax of 4.65 mills and a parishwide special tax of 7 mills. During the meeting a board member moved to amend the resolution to set the BRE millage for Consolidated School District 10 at 20 mills rather than the 15 listed in the draft; the board voted in favor of the amendment and then adopted the levy as amended.
Board members asked procedural questions about line items and the corrected millage amount before the roll-call votes. The motion to amend was offered and seconded on the floor and approved by roll call. The board then voted to adopt the full levy ordinance as amended, with a roll call recorded by the board secretary.
The resolution instructs parish administrative officials to spread the levied taxes on the 2025 assessment roll and to collect those taxes as provided by law. The board did not discuss any follow-up actions beyond implementation steps described in the resolution.
The vote on the amendment and the levy were taken by roll call and the clerk recorded the votes before declaring the motions passed.
