The $76,244,314 proposal for the 2026-27 school year represents a $1,596,872 increase in spending over the current year’s budget. The budget will increase the tax levy by 2.85%, which is below the district’s state-imposed tax levy limit of 2.94%.

The level of support demonstrates our shared commitment to student success,” Superintendent Kristine Orr said. “Together, we are investing in our students’ future, and we are grateful to all who took part in the process.”
