Q55 (originally Q43): Would it be possible to see a 5 (or 10?) year history looking at what we projected the mil rate impact to be during the time of the budget approval process, side by side to the actual mil rate impact for that year?
The district confirmed the actual FY26 school mill rate wound up being 9.54 — a decrease of 0.30 from the approved rate. The district provided a historical chart showing projected vs. actual mil rates and acknowledged the gap between projections and actuals.
The district answered honestly when asked — and the answer proves the brochure's 9.4944 baseline is not what taxpayers actually paid. The actual FY26 rate of 9.54 should have been in the brochure. The public brochure has not been corrected or updated. (Updated May 3, 2026 to add the April 28 Joint Workshop slides' conflicting 9.49 figure as a 5th valid baseline; original Feb 27 record preserved above. See Flag #34.)
