The Mercer County Board of Education adopted a rate of levy for property taxation at a special session on April 21, 2026, approving the measure by a 5-0 vote.
The chair said the session was convened specifically to hear any objections to the levy and that none were raised. The transcript variably referenced fiscal years as "24 25" and "2526"; the board recorded the motion to adopt the levy and proceeded to a vote.
The chair praised the community for backing the excess levy and emphasized its importance to school operations, saying, "Without it, we cannot function as a school system as you know it." A motion to adopt the levy was made and seconded (the transcript does not identify who moved or seconded), and the chair called the question. The chair announced, "That motion carries 5 in favor and none opposed."
There were no other action items on the agenda. Following the vote, a motion to adjourn was made, seconded, and the chair adjourned the meeting.
The board did not record individual vote names in the transcript and did not specify the legal threshold for the levy vote in the session record.
