At the Board of Directors' meeting on May 27, the Board approved a General Fund Budget for the 2025-2026 school year. The Budget includes allocations for planned expenditures of $76,824,419. In addition to supporting general operating expenses and quality education programs, the budget supports our plans to renovate the high school and construct a new intermediate school for our students in grades 3-5.

Balancing the budget is complex and challenging. However, with the Board’s guidance, the administration was able to prioritize needs, effectively allocate existing resources, and continue efforts to implement strategies that improve efficiency and reduce costs. Ultimately, to balance the 2025-20256 General Fund Budget, the Board raised the millage rate from 26.5848 in 2024-2025 to 27.4488, resulting in a 3.25% tax increase for 2025-2026.

The Tax Impact Calculator has been updated to help residents better understand the impact of our planned construction and renovation projects on their Real Estate Tax bill. A chart with the impact of the project costs on taxes since 2022-2023 through 2028-2029 is also available as a resource for taxpayers.

It is important to note that for 2026-2027 and later, the estimated increases shown on the calculator are based only on the cost of district projects. Additional funding for operational costs is still to be determined.

PLEASE NOTE: This calculator is a tool for tax estimation only. This result should not be considered a final tax figure and is intended only as an approximation.
