Requires Type II school district without board of school estimate holding its school election in November to receive voter approval of base budget.
This bill would require Type II school districts without a board of school estimate that hold their annual school election in November to obtain voter approval for their base budget, which is currently not required. The bill would require these districts to submit a temporary budget by March 20 and seek voter approval at the November election, with the temporary budget becoming final if approved by voters. If voters reject the budget, the district would follow the same process as other districts with rejected budgets. This change would align the requirements for November election districts with those for districts holding April elections, ensuring voters have a say on the base budget regardless of election timing.
