The District is required to sign and submit a contract that informs the state which option has been chosen to reduce its local revenue level for the 2026-27 school year.  There are five (5) options available to reduce local revenue levels. Option 1 - Consolidate with another district, Option 2 - Detach property, Option 3 - Purchase attendance credits from the state, Option 4 - Contract to educate nonresident students, and/or Option 5 - Consolidate tax bases with another district Staff recommends electing Option 3 to achieve the required local revenue level for the 2026-27 school year.
