Mahomet-Seymour board was scheduled to weigh $25.7 million estimated tax levy at same rate
Monday's agenda also listed a $50,000 state matching grant application for masonry work at two schools.
MAHOMET - The Mahomet-Seymour Community Unit School District 3 Board of Education was scheduled Monday, Oct. 19, to consider putting a $25,746,739 estimated 2026 tax levy on public display, according to the meeting's board packet. A district memo says the plan keeps the tax rate at the 4.63 certified for fiscal 2026, with the bond and interest rate unchanged at 0.6033.
Property taxes make up about 42% of district revenue, the memo says. Staff figured unrestricted funds on the county's July estimate of a 6.5% rise in equalized assessed valuation and restricted funds on 10.5% as a cushion. The district expects an updated estimate in December and may adjust before final approval.
The agenda also listed an application for a state School Maintenance Project Grant. The $50,000 grant, matched by $50,000 from the district, would pay for masonry work at Lincoln Trail Elementary and Mahomet-Seymour High School, the packet shows.
Outcomes and vote counts had not been posted Tuesday morning. A tax levy hearing is set for 6:15 p.m. Dec. 14 at Middletown Prairie Elementary, followed by a regular meeting.
