Board of Education Special Meeting
The board discussed the potential impacts of the state legislative ballot question HB1300, which proposes a district levy cap on property taxes and a 6% spending cap on central office administrative costs.

The board also reviewed the implications of staffing reductions, the potential for future service cuts if the tax caps pass, and new legislative requirements regarding the provision of special education services for students attending charter and private schools.
