4. Discuss, consider, and take all necessary action to adopt resolution increasing the school district’s base growth percentage used to determine the school district’s property tax request authority by up to seven percent (7%).
Discussion:
New for this year is the third lid schools must statutorily observe when setting their budget: the property tax request authority. The funding needed for the School District to meet its obligations to its students will require an increase in the base growth percentage used to determine the School District’s property tax request authority. Nebraska law authorizes the Board, upon an affirmative vote of at least seventy percent (70%) of the Board, to increase such base growth percentage by up to seven percent (7%). This does not mean that the district will increase taxes. This new law would give the district a cushion if needed.
