Presenter (Mr. Hauser) explained the district’s proposed 2026–27 budget: total spending proposed to increase about 1.9%, the proposed increase to be raised by taxes is 2.15% (about $3,132,005.21). He explained tax-cap exclusions and that piercing the cap would require a 60% voter approval rather than 50%. He noted final state aid numbers were not yet finalized and the governor’s proposal includes a 1% foundation-aid increase; the board is hopeful for an additional 1% from the legislature.
