# Blue Valley Board of Education Meeting 9/14/2026

The Blue Valley Board of Education held a meeting on September 14, 2026, which included a public hearing and subsequent approval to exceed the revenue neutral tax rate for the 2026-2027 fiscal year. The proposed budget requests approximately $166 million in taxes, representing a 3.8% average increase for taxpayers, primarily to support competitive salaries and benefits for staff. Public comments expressed concerns about the impact of rising property taxes on homeowners, especially seniors and those on fixed incomes, and urged the district to consider spending cuts before raising taxes. The board unanimously approved the resolution to exceed the revenue neutral tax rate. Additionally, the board approved the 2026 legal maximum budget and estimated tax rate, including a 33% local option budget resolution. The meeting also included approval of a contract with CDW Government Inc. for the district's annual Microsoft licensing agreement, funded through capital outlay. Several staff recognitions and reports on district achievements were presented, and the board discussed the complexities of state-mandated mill levies and funding formulas. Overall, the meeting focused heavily on budgetary and tax levy decisions impacting district funding and procurement of technology services.
