Dayton SD 8 budget, tax certification fails after committee vote
Summary
The Dayton School District 8 Budget Committee voted 4–9 against approving the 2026–27 budget and certifying the tax rate on May 19, 2026; administration had presented a plan addressing roughly $2.4 million in reductions.
The Dayton School District No. 8 Budget Committee voted on May 19, 2026, on a motion to approve the 2026–27 budget and certify the district's tax rate; the motion failed, with 4 members voting in favor and 9 opposed. The failure leaves the district without an approved budget certification at this meeting and sets a procedural next step for the committee to reconvene.
Superintendent Amy Fast had presented the proposed budget earlier in the meeting, describing it as intended to protect core classroom services while addressing “approximately $2.4 million in reductions.” The committee scheduled a follow-up Budget Committee meeting for May 26, 2026, to continue budget work and next procedural steps. The meeting adjourned at 8:20 PM.
