Finance update: district adopted tax rate and early certified values show small decrease after appeals

Finance staff briefed trustees on the fiscal‑year transition and early 2026 certified values. Rob Welch told the board the district adopted a total tax rate of 1.2857 (M&O 0.7869, I&S 0.4988), called a voter‑approval tax rate election and a bond election for Nov. 3, 2026, and noted that early certified values initially showed a 3.6% decrease then revised to a 2.2% decrease due in part to property value appeals.
