Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

The levy funds make up nearly 30% of the district’s general fund. The district’s chief financial officer stated that despite the overall levy increase, property taxes are likely to see a slight decrease, potentially a negative 1.1%, if property values remain stable.
