The Tri-City United School District School Board voted on Monday, Dec. 22, to ask voters in the district again to pass the same $39.99 million bond that was proposed at the November 2025 single vote election. In November, the tax base that showed up to vote voted 926 in approval and 1,088 in opposition.
The $39.99 million bond for Tri-City United Schools was rejected by voters in the Nov. 4 election despite $7,982,004 being covered by the state Ag2School Tax Credit.
Tax impact on a $400,000 residential property would have been between $10.12-$10.66 a month, generally replacing a couple bonds that would be falling off over the next few years and not raising the current amount people were being taxed by much.
