The Lee’s Summit R-7 Board of Education held a tax rate hearing on September 29, 2026. District staff presented assessed valuation figures, including a year-over-year decrease of $1.4 million and nearly $77 million in new construction and improvements, and recommended a total levy of 5.4208 per $100 of assessed value: 4.5508 for operating funds and 0.8700 for debt service. Staff illustrated a homeowner’s estimated annual tax bill rising from $900.43 to $1,029.95, an increase of $129.52. Public comments included objections to the proposed increase and support for setting the operating rate at the maximum allowed by law. The board adopted the meeting agenda, but the transcript does not show a vote on the proposed tax rate; the hearing was closed and the meeting adjourned.

No procurement activity was identified. The discussion concerned district tax rates and revenue rather than contracts, purchasing, or vendor selection.
