District notes unchanged basic allotment and tax-rate history as funding pressures grow
Summary
CFO presentation reviewed tax-rate history and noted the state's Basic Allotment has not changed since 2019 ($6,160), limiting state revenue growth amid rising costs; the district's total tax rate is projected at 1.20876 for 2025–26.
As part of the budget overview, district staff reviewed historical tax-rate data and legislative timing. Slides showed M&O and I&S tax rates from prior years and a projected total tax rate of 1.20876 for 2025–26 (M&O 0.70670; I&S 0.50206).
Cuevas also flagged that the Basic Allotment used to compute Foundation School Program entitlements has remained unchanged at $6,160 since 2019; she connected that static allotment to constrained state funding in the face of rising costs for instruction, transportation and operations. The presentation referenced HB2 and legislative deadlines during the 89th legislative session as potentially relevant to any changes in state funding.
