Board of Education Approves Revised Budget Proposal for June 16 Revote

Following the results of the May budget vote, the Board of Education approved a revised 2026-27 budget proposal that will go before voters in a revote on Tuesday, June 16, 2026.

The revised proposed budget reflects a reduced tax levy increase of 1.50%, down from the original proposed increase of 2.69%.

District officials said the revised proposal was developed in response to community feedback received following the initial vote while continuing to prioritize student programs, services, and overall fiscal responsibility.

“We heard the concerns expressed by our community and worked carefully to develop a revised proposal that is more responsive to taxpayer feedback while continuing to support our students and schools,” said Superintendent Dr. Brian Graham.

The revised budget proposal includes targeted reductions and adjustments identified through discussions with district leadership and the Board of Education. The second budget is cut by $500,000. It avoids classroom programs, and makes cuts to unexpected expenses including $50,000 for equipment, $150,000 for utilities, $5,000 in supplies, and $50,000 for substitute teachers.   Additional details regarding the revised proposal, including budget adjustments and their impact, will be shared with the community in the coming days.

There will be a public hearing on June 8.
