Tax levy

2.54% increase from $224,541,381 to $230,235,146. This is equal to the district’s 2.54% tax-cap limit, so a simple majority vote is required for approval.

Propositions

A proposition seeks approval to establish a Capital Reserve fund for improvements to buildings. Approval of the proposition will not affect the tax levy.
