WOCCISD holds public hearing on proposed $1.0095 tax rate
Summary
At a June 23 public hearing, WOCCISD CFO Robin Hataway said the district’s proposed 2025-26 tax rate would combine a $0.7545 M&O rate and a $0.255 debt service rate for a total of $1.0095; the board will set the official rate in August after certified values are released.
WOCCISD held a public hearing at 6:00 p.m. on June 23 to solicit comment on the proposed 2025-26 tax rate. Robin Hataway, the district’s chief financial officer, said the budget for the coming school year is based on a maintenance and operations tax rate of $0.7545 and a debt service rate of $0.255 per $100 of assessed valuation, producing a combined proposed rate of $1.0095.
"The budget for the upcoming school year is based on a maintenance and operations tax rate of $.7545, and the budgeted debt service rate remained the same at $.255 per $100 of valuation. This puts the total proposed budgeted tax rate at $1.0095," Hataway said. She told the board and public that the official tax rate will not be adopted until August, after certified property values are released, and that staff would return if an increase proves necessary. No members of the public asked questions during the hearing.
The hearing provided an opportunity for citizens to comment before the board adopts the final rate later this summer; Hataway emphasized the timing linkage to certified values. The board took no final action on the tax rate at the meeting. The district will announce the date and agenda for the August adoption once certified valuations are available.
