# Board of Education Special Meeting No. 1641 (Tax Rate Hearing) and Regular Meeting No. 1642

Lindbergh Schools’ Board of Education held Special Meeting No. 1641, a tax-rate hearing, and Regular Meeting No. 1642 on September 24, 2026. The board reviewed proposed 2026 tax rates and assessed valuations, noting the district’s residential and agricultural rates were at the 2.75 minimum and that the debt-service levy would remain just over $0.83. The district reported that its blended tax rate has fallen by nearly $0.70 since 2016 and that it has the lowest residential tax rate in Missouri. The board approved the estimated 2026 tax rates; no specific total revenue or rate schedule was stated in the transcript.

The board also approved a health-plan change involving increased employee plan costs to address continuing deficits in the district’s self-insured fund. Discussion covered prior efforts to contain costs, including more than $1 million added to the fund, approximately $1 million recovered through a plan change, and about $700,000 saved by consolidating PPO plans. The district said a free employee plan would remain available and described a one-time $600 preload for employees transitioning to the high-deductible HSA plan. The consent agenda passed, with one board member abstaining from the financial-report portion concerning Amron Electric because of a conflict of interest; no related contract award or procurement decision was described. The 2027–2028 school calendar was presented for first reading only.
