Details
Calcasieu Parish School Board 2024 — parish-wide operating levies 17.00 mills on 10% AV (effective ~0.17% on market): constitutional 5.06 + M&O 8.64 + M&O 3.30, printed line-by-line in BOTH the LLA 2025 report's 2024 levy column and the board's own FY2025 ACFR ('levied at 5.06 mills … 8.64 mills … 3.30 mills'; Table 7 prints the same 17.00 General Fund direct rate for 2024). LABELED VARIANCE, UNRESOLVED: numbered school-district BOND millages add on top and vary by ward (2024 range 0.80–19.00 across districts 21–34); which numbered district covers Lake Charles proper is not printed in either lens's documents, so this line carries only the parish-wide floor — a Lake Charles bill is higher by its district's bond millage. Corrects the prior crude 48-mill model (which exceeded every possible district combination)Where it goes
