Millions in Vague Spending for “Social” and “Health” Services
The proposed 2026-27 budget allocates over $42 million to vague categories like “Guidance, Counseling, & Evaluation Services” ($28.2M), “Health Services” ($6.8M), and “Community Services” ($7.4M). These functions are often used to introduce SEL, mental health screenings, and other programs that replace academics and bypass parental consent.
Recommended Action Plan
DEMAND A DETAILED BREAKDOWN: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Before approving the budget (Item G.7), parents demand a detailed line-item breakdown of all vendors, programs, and staff salaries included in Functions 31, 32, 33, and 61. We will not approve a blank check for social engineering.’

District Sending $13.8 Million in Local Taxes to the State
Buried in the budget documents, the district reveals it will be forced to send $13.8 million of our local property tax dollars to the state under the “recapture” or “Robin Hood” system. This money is taken from our kids and classrooms and redistributed by the state.
Recommended Action Plan
INFORM THE COMMUNITY: Share this information widely. While the board must comply with state law, parents need to know that $13.8 million of their local taxes are being sent away, and they should ask state legislators why our district is a piggy bank for the state.
💰 Taxpayer Impact: $13.8M Local Tax Dollars

Vague Budget Increases for “Social” and “Community” Services
The board is approving year-end budget adjustments, including a $100,000 increase for “Social Work Services” and a $500,000 increase for “Community Services.” These vague categories can be used to fund programs that undermine parental authority without specific disclosure.
Recommended Action Plan
ASK QUESTIONS: Contact the District Office (see the Official Agenda link): ‘Regarding Item G.1, please provide a detailed breakdown of the programs and vendors being funded by the $100,000 increase to Social Work Services and the $500,000 increase to Community Services.’

Board Approves Property Tax Rate DECREASE
The board is voting to adopt a new total tax rate of $1.0778, which is a decrease of $0.0400 from last year’s rate. This provides direct financial relief to property owners in the district.
How to Lock It In
PACK THE ROOM TO SAY THANKS: Show up to publicly thank the Board for lowering the property tax rate. Positive reinforcement is critical and makes it harder for future boards to raise taxes.
✅ Why It Matters: Taxpayer Relief

District Paying Down Debt Early to Save Taxpayer Money
The board is voting on a resolution to pay off outstanding bonds early. This fiscally responsible move is projected to save taxpayers an estimated $997,400 in interest payments.
How to Lock It In
AMPLIFY THE WIN: Show up to thank the Board for their fiscal responsibility on Item G.3. Get this on the record so it can be used as a model for neighboring districts that are not managing their debt as effectively.
✅ Why It Matters: $997,400 Taxpayer Savings
