SHELBYVILLE ISD staff presents $12.47 million 2026–27 operating budget; chair reads tax-rate adoption language

SHELBYVILLE ISD staff presented the proposed operating budget for the 2026–27 school year at $12,468,225, saying the figure reflects a roughly $700,000 decrease tied in part to construction activity concluding.

A staff member summarized the required public disclosures and taxpayer-impact statements, noting the published tax rate shown as 66.22¢ per $100 valuation and an example impact that a median Shelby County house would see a 33¢ monthly change. The presenter said the colored documents are required to be posted on the district website for public access.

Later the chair read the formal motion language to adopt a property tax rate of 0.662200 and stated that adoption would be "effectively a 10.59% increase in the tax rate." The chair asked, "Any opposed?" and the meeting proceeded once no opposition was recorded in the transcript. The record does not include a formal roll-call vote or the names of voters.

Staff said the budget and associated paperwork presented at the meeting are the same materials shown during an earlier budget workshop held this month.
