Board of Education Meeting - Tax Rate Hearing - September 23, 2026

The Parkway Streaming Board of Education held its annual tax rate hearing on September 23, 2026, to review and approve the proposed tax rates for the 2026 tax year. CFO Carrie Nunn presented detailed information on assessed property values, noting a $22 million overall increase primarily due to new construction and personal property growth. The board discussed the impact of the Hancock Amendment on tax rate adjustments and revenue growth limitations. The proposed tax rates include a nearly $4 million recoupment and a reset of the voluntary residential rollback, resulting in a modest increase in the residential tax rate and an estimated $138 increase in the average homeowner's tax bill. The board approved the agenda and discussed the tax rate without opposition. Public comments focused on concerns about educational equity and the effective use of funds, though no direct procurement or budget allocation decisions beyond the tax rate setting were made during the meeting.
