Board adopts 2025–26 tax request; levy presented at about 85¢ per $100 valuation
Summary
After the tax hearing, the board adopted the district’s 2025–26 tax request. Staff presented a levy recommendation of approximately 85.14¢ per $100 of valuation and noted most of the increase is directed to the bond fund.
The Scottsbluff Public Schools board adopted its 2025–26 tax request after a presentation and hearing on Sept. 8.
Mary Anne outlined levy history and valuation trends, saying the district’s total valuation for 2025–26 is $2,100,000,000, a 9.49% increase over the prior year, and that the recommended levy is about 85.14¢ per $100 of valuation — a decrease of roughly 6.63¢ from the prior year’s rate. She explained that while the levy rate per $100 is decreasing, the total tax ask can rise because of increases in assessed valuation and that 91% of the tax increase is attributable to the bond fund to accelerate bond paydown.
Board members adjourned the tax hearing and later approved the tax-request resolution by recorded assent; no public commenters spoke during the tax hearing.
