REVENUE SUMMARY WHAT IS A CONTINGENT BUDGET? State law requires school districts to submit a budget to voters for approval the third Tuesday in May. If this proposed budget is defeated, the Board of Education has the right to go directly to a contingent budget or submit the same or a revised budget to voters for a second vote. If the proposed budget is defeated a second time, the Board of Education must adopt a contingent budget. Under a contingent budget, the Property Tax Levy Cap legislation requires school districts to keep the property tax levy the same as the prior year without any allowances or exclusions. For Half Hollow Hills, this means a reduction of approximately $4.9 million in a contingent budget.
