Board reminds district voters of tomorrow's budget vote, explains 2.83% levy and outreach
Summary
District staff explained how school taxes relate to the approved tax levy (stated as a 2.83% levy for Geneseo), described outreach (postcards, website), and reminded voters the budget vote runs 8 a.m.–8 p.m. in the auditorium foyer.
A district administrator (Speaker 5) addressed community questions and misinformation about how school taxes are calculated compared with property reassessments, and reminded residents the district's budget vote would be held the following day.
"School taxes are based on the approved tax levy increase, which for Geneseo is a 2.83% tax levy," Speaker 5 said, and encouraged residents to consult district mailings, social media and the district website for details on how taxes and reassessments interact. The speaker described a second postcard sent to district households and other outreach efforts to explain the levy and calculation.
Speaker 5 urged residents to vote during the scheduled hours — "from 8AM to 8PM" — in the auditorium foyer and noted an art show would be on display for visitors. The remarks were informational; no policy change or new levy was proposed at the meeting itself.
The board did not take additional action on the levy during the meeting; the reminder was framed as community outreach ahead of the formal budget vote.
