School Year
Since the implementation of the tax cap, there has been minimal impact on the school budget passage rate as can be seen in the table below, where budget passage rates have averaged 91.8% over the last decade. However, that is not to suggest that the property tax cap has not had an impact on the budgets that school districts have prepared and submitted to their voters in the past two years since the enactment of the property tax cap.

While the percentage of school budgets initially approved in the past two years has exceeded the previous ten-year average, districts are clearly aware of the risks of proposing school budgets that exceed their property tax levy limits. It is clear that indications are such that districts attempting to override their property tax caps will not attain such high budget approval rates. As mentioned earlier, for the 2013-2014 school year, only 7 out of 28 or 25% of school budgets proposing to override their property tax caps were passed by voters. Last year, while more favorable to school districts, only 34 out of 53 or 64.2% of school districts that proposed budgets exceeding their property tax
levy limits saw their budgets approved. In sum, it would appear that there has been a chilling effect on school boards proposing budgets that exceed their property tax caps. In the past two years, only 81 or an average of less than 6% of all school districts have proposed budgets that have exceeded their respective property tax caps. At the same time, school districts across the state have overwhelmingly voiced their discontent with the property tax cap and the limitations it places on them to levy the funding needed to maintain their educational programs. Yet, there are very few school districts willing to take the risk and seek an override.
