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? I am generally curious how accurate we have been historically on the prediction since we have to use estimate data for part of that calculation.
Yes. The Superintendent confirmed the data exists ('typically something we put in the Town Council budget booklet') and referenced 'the chart below' in the written answer — but the public Google Doc version of the Q&A shows the chart as a removed image. The only numerical answer text given was the FY26 actual of 9.54 (which Flag #34 documents as conflicting with the April 28 slides' 9.49).
The district's Q55 answer is technically complete in saying the data exists and providing one numerical update — but for a member of the public reading the publicly-hosted Q&A, the substantive historical chart is invisible. Publishing this chart in a publicly-accessible format (not embedded as a removed image) before June 9 would directly serve voter trust.
