# LSR7 Board of Education Tax Rate Hearing - 9/29/26

The Lee’s Summit R-7 School District Board of Education held a tax rate hearing on September 29, 2026. District staff presented assessed-value information and recommended a total levy of 5.4208 per $100 of assessed valuation: 4.5508 for operating funds, including 0.5000 for capital projects, and 0.8700 for debt service. The presentation estimated that a representative property tax bill would rise from $900.43 to $1,029.95, an increase of $129.52. The revenue figures presented assumed 100% collection. The board adopted the agenda by voice vote; the transcript does not show a vote to approve the recommended tax rate or another spending or procurement action.

Public comments included criticism of the proposed increase and questions about the tax-rate calculation, as well as support for approving the maximum legally allowed operating rate to avoid future borrowing costs. Other comments thanked district leadership and staff or addressed meeting decorum. The hearing was then closed and the meeting adjourned. No procurement activity was identified.
