# Special Board of Education Meeting | September 28, 2026

At the September 28, 2026, special meeting of the Raytown Schools Board of Education, staff recommended setting the operating levy at 5.1994 and the debt-service levy at 1.1206, for a total levy of 6.32. The district’s reported assessed valuation was $973,417,373, about $41.67 million below the prior year, attributed to Jackson County valuation reductions for some businesses and successful taxpayer protests. Staff also discussed expected tax-credit withholdings from district distributions and uncertainty about future assessed values, with a county reassessment expected next year. The transcript does not show a clear vote on the levy recommendation; a motion to adjourn was mentioned. No procurement activity was identified.
