The board read and adopted the district’s budget for the 2025–26 fiscal year. During the reading, staff reported a general fund total of $7,853,721. The resolution also set a permanent ad‑valorem property tax rate of 5.0640 per $1,000 of assessed value and listed $2,247,232 for general obligation bond debt service.
Board members agreed that the figures reflected amounts prepared by the budget committee and staff. The board approved the budget resolution by roll call vote; staff will file the adopted budget with the district administrative office as required by state rules.
