    Attached is the 2026 NAV report compiled by Policy Analytics to help us project the impact of property tax changes. Projected Average NAV Annual Change – 5 Years Pay 2026 to Pay 2031 is -3.1%.  The biggest impact is expected in 2027, with a decline of 7%. This is achieved through a parcel-by-parcel analysis of all property types in the district.

    Education/Curricular Materials is at a cash balance percentage of 19.16% of the budget.  Operations is at 9.08%.  The cafeteria fund continues to struggle.  Negative balances in the prepaid accounts are $6,557.12
