## Resource

Parents pushing to block a school budget cap from appearing on the November ballot lost their final legal bid, as the state Supreme Court swiftly denied their emergency appeal. The measure, House Bill 1300, would cap school budgets based on inflation and new construction, limit admin spending to six percent, and exclude capital costs — signed into law earlier this year. After losing in lower court, where judges found insufficient proof of irreparable harm, the parents now face an uphill battle: voters will decide whether to impose these limits with a three-fifths majority. Supporters say it’s about fiscal responsibility, opponents argue it’s a stealthy way to silence property tax debates.
