Park Hill School District Board Meeting 07/23/2026

The Park Hill School District Board meeting on July 23, 2026, included public comment on class sizes and a presentation on preliminary assessed valuations and the 2026 tax rate. A parent described concerns about a first-grade class of 27 students at Union Chapel and asked the board to prioritize district class-size guidelines. The presentation proposed maintaining the total tax rate at the prior year’s level, subject to final assessed values and a public hearing at the August meeting. Based on preliminary figures, the district could receive about $1.6 million less revenue than budgeted; the projected total tax-rate revenue was approximately $148 million. The board also briefly discussed the potential effects of an upcoming vote on public education funding.

The board approved consent agenda items 7.2–7.17 by a 6–0 vote; the transcript does not specify their contents. It then voted to adjourn to closed session to discuss legal and property matters. No contracts, vendor selections, bids, or other procurement activity were identified.
