Henderson County Schools Board Meeting 08/31/26

The Henderson County Schools Board held a special meeting on August 31, 2026, primarily to propose a new tax rate to support school funding. The board discussed the proposed tax rate increase from 68.2 to 68.3 cents per $100 of property valuation, which represents a minimal increase of one-tenth of a cent and translates to about $1 more per $100,000 of home value. The motor vehicle tax rate was to remain unchanged at 54.8 cents. The board unanimously approved the proposal to advertise the new tax rate, with a final adoption vote scheduled for September 14, 2026. No procurement, contract awards, or vendor selections were discussed during this meeting.
