Prop H Placed on August 4 Ballot to Address Revenue Reductions and Keep Students First
On August 4, 2026, Hazelwood School District voters will consider Proposition H, a Zero-Rate-Change Transfer, designed to address ongoing financial challenges while maintaining educational opportunities for students.
Hazelwood School District is projected to lose approximately $4 million in state revenue this year and could lose nearly $30 million over the next five years due to reduced state funding and the senior property tax freeze. Prop H would reallocate existing tax rate authority from the Debt Service Fund to the Operating Fund while keeping the district's overall tax rate unchanged.
In the coming weeks, the district will provide factual information about Prop H and its potential impact on students, staff, and school programs. To learn more, including answers to frequently asked questions, visit www.hazelwoodschools.org/
